Outgoing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has advised the world “not to waste a lot of time” on what President-elect Donald Trump has been saying about Greenland.

The Republican made clear again this week that he would like the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark to come under US control and said he would not rule out the use of military force to make that happen.
