Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated Wednesday that Greenland is “not for sale” in response to President Donald Trump’s remarks suggesting the territory should be under U.S. control rather than Copenhagen’s.
After arriving in Ankara for the NATO summit, Trump reiterated his demands for Greenland while praising Turkey’s leadership, emphasizing potential F-35 jet fighter purchases from Washington.
Trump criticized NATO’s stance on Iran, contrasting it with his support for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whom he described as having “chemistry” with.
The summit highlights growing tensions within the alliance as Trump urges members to increase defense spending while simultaneously reducing U.S. involvement in Europe.
NATO reported a 11% rise in European defense expenditures to $634 billion for 2026, with allies pledging significant arms investments to meet spending targets.
Amid stalled Ukraine peace efforts, Trump suggested both Russia and Ukraine desire a resolution to the conflict. He plans to discuss the matter with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
