Anders Fogh Rasmussen, erstwhile NATO chief and erstwhile Danish Prime Minister, harshly criticized president Donald Trump's rhetoric about Greenland. He compared the language of the American leader to the "gangsters" speech from Russia and China.

Trump insisted on taking Greenland, utilizing aggressive rhetoric. The U.S. president speculated that if America did not take control of the island, China or Russia could. His statements caused shock in Denmark.

Denmark's position and working group

Denmark, as an ally of NATO, has clearly stated that Greenland is not for sale.

However, Denmark, Greenland and the US have set up a joint working group that is arguing over the scope of discussions about the future of the Arctic island.

Rasmussen besides expressed concern that Trump's aggressive rhetoric distracts from key safety issues, including Russia's war against Ukraine.
