President Trump had a “firm” phone conversation with Denmark’s prime minister last week to convey his serious intentions of acquiring Greenland, according to a report citing officials privy to the talk.

Geopolitical tensions surrounding Greenland are escalating, with Russia seeking to insert itself into the American-Danish dispute. Speaking on state television, a Russian lawmaker suggested that Greenland should be divided into sections,

U.S. President Donald Trump this week repeated his assertion that American control of Greenland is vital for “international security.” As Henry Ridgwell reports, Denmark, which owns the island, has admitted failing to invest in its security,
