Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called the country's business leaders to a meeting on Thursday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump last week threatened military or economic action such as tariffs to take control of Greenland.

The Prime Minister of Denmark has told Donald Trump that it is up to the residents of Greenland to decide on any independence. Trump has said that control of Greenland was an "absolute necessity" and did not rule out using military or economic action such as tariffs against Denmark to make it happen.
