In this episode of GZERO Europe, Carl Bildt delves into the escalating diplomatic tensions between Denmark and the United States over Greenland.

Bildt explains that the Danish foreign minister summoned a representative of the US Embassy over claims of the US “trying to de facto subvert the political system of Greenland.” Bildt notes that the Danish prime minister also issued pointed remarks about how allies should behave, signaling the seriousness of the issue.

Bildt adds that while we haven’t heard much about Trump and Greenland lately, “it seems like the issue is still there, at least in certain circles, and likely to continue to arouse tensions between allies across the Atlantic.”
