Future of Greenland is only for Greenlanders to decide: Ursula von der Leyen
US President Donald Trump has arrived in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he's set hold a multitude of meetings on Greenland. Mr Trump has made clear his resolve to take control of the Danish territory, despite objection and protest from fellow allies in NATO. The EU has hit back. EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, warned that Europe is fully prepared to act if necessary. The EU Council President, Antonio Costa, asserts that the bloc will defend itself against coercion and protect international law. Mr Trump has threatened tariffs on Denmark and seven other allies unless they negotiate a transfer of Greenland. Will Denselow and Jagruti Dave report for CNA.
