Known for its rich mineral deposits and strategic importance, Greenland is an increasingly accessible island due to global warming. President Trump has emphasized that this large area is vital for U.S. national security.

 Frederiksen announced plans for her visit after US Vice President JD Vance visited a US air base in Greenland last week and accused Denmark of underinvesting in the territory.

 Upon her arrival, Frederiksen stated that she aims to "support Greenland during a very challenging time." She expressed, "To all the people in Greenland, let me assure you that my sole desire is to utilize every resource at my disposal to ensure the well-being of this magnificent nation."
