But over the weekend, Trump told reporters that it is not certain he will be making the trip. Asked about those comments during a visit to Greenland’s capital Nuuk on Monday, Frederiksen said her government would “intensify” planning for Trump’s arrival in the “coming weeks”. She also said she wants closer cooperation between Denmark and Greenland, including on defence and foreign affairs.

But from the US perspective, Trump said that “strategically it’s interesting and we’d be interested, but we’ll talk to them a little bit”, in comments made on Sunday as he left New Jersey for Washington after spending more than a week at his golf course. He also said a deal is “not No 1 on the burner”.
