Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met with business leaders including the head of Novo Nordisk A/S to discuss potential measures by the incoming Trump administration amid escalating tensions over Greenland.

The CEO of obesity drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk and heads of other Danish companies were expected to discuss preparations for a possible trade conflict with the United States over Greenland with Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Thursday.

US president-elect Donald Trump expressed interest in purchasing Greenland, causing Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to emphasize that only Greenland can decide its future. Their conversation highlighted the strong American interest in Greenland but left the issue unresolved.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told President-elect Donald Trump “Greenland is not for sale” during a phone call this week, according to a press release from her office, as Trump continues to express interest in acquiring the Danish territory.

US President-elect Donald Trump did not back down from threats during a conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. He wants to impose high tariffs if Denmark does not give up Greenland,

Denmark's prime minister stressed to the president-elect that Danish companies contribute to growth and jobs in the U.S.

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called business leaders to a meeting on Thursday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump last week refused to rule out military or economic action to take control of Greenland.
