Denmark concerned about US interest in Greenland

Former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt expressed that Denmark feels bullied by the US over Greenland and views it as an act of aggression. This comes after President Donald Trump expressed interest in acquiring the semi-autonomous territory for national security reasons. Greenland manages its own internal affairs, but foreign, defense, and security policy is controlled by Denmark. The current UK prime minister also emphasized that the future of Greenland should be decided by Greenland and Denmark.
