Denmark has asked the US to respect its "territorial integrity" following a provocative tweet from Katie Miller, wife of Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff. Miller posted a map of Greenland colored with the American flag on her social media, adding the word "SOON". Jesper Moeller Soerensen, Denmark's ambassador to the US, reposted her message with a "friendly reminder" about the strong defence partnership between the countries. Trump has often talked about the US possibly annexing Greenland, citing its key location and rich minerals. Denmark is upset, especially after the US appointed a special envoy to Greenland. Ambassador Soerensen said, "Just a friendly reminder about the US and the Kingdom of Denmark: We are close allies and should continue to work together as such. US security is also Greenland's and Denmark's security. Greenland is already part of NATO." He added that Denmark plans to spend $13.7 billion on defense in 2025 to protect the Arctic and North Atlantic regions. "And yes, we expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark," Soerensen stressed. This comes amid other US actions like a military operation capturing Venezuela's president. Trump has not ruled out using force for Greenland, which has 57,000 people and governs itself but relies on Denmark for defense and foreign policy. Most Greenlanders want independence from Denmark but strongly oppose joining the US.
