A senior US senator, Lindsey Graham, had a tense interaction with Danish and Greenlandic leaders at the Munich Security Conference. This incident has raised concerns about ongoing US interest in Greenland.
• Graham met with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen, where he made controversial remarks about Greenland.
• He implied that if former President Trump wanted Greenland, the US could simply take it.
• Graham reportedly referred to Frederiksen as "little lady," prompting her to demand he be respectful before the meeting could proceed.
• Attendees described Graham's attitude as "out of line," citing foul language and a combative demeanor.
• Recent discussions have revealed that Trump’s previous actions have negatively affected Europeans' trust in the US.
Graham's remarks have reignited fears about US intentions in the Arctic, amidst a backdrop of changing US-Danish relations since Trump's presidency.
