Denmark’s Prime Minister has insisted Greenland is not for sale and called for a robust response from her European Union partners should US President Donald Trump press ahead with his threat to take control of the island.

Mette Frederiksen told reporters in Brussels as EU leaders gathered for defence talks: “I will never support the idea of fighting allies. But of course, if the US puts tough terms on Europe, we need a collective and robust response.”
