A social media post linking US moves in Venezuela to American ambitions in Greenland has drawn a sharp reply from Denmark. Katie Miller, a former Trump administration official and wife of deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, posted on X late Saturday an image of Greenland overlaid with portions of the US flag and the caption "SOON," Politico Europe reports. President Trump has said the US "has to have Greenland for national security." Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark responded to the post, per the BBC, by calling on the US "to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale."

Casting his comment as a "friendly reminder" of the two nations' defense alliance, Copenhagen's ambassador to Washington also posted a response. His nation expects "full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark," Jesper Møller Sørensen said. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Danish realm. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen responded with two points, per CBS News: "Our country is not for sale and our future is not determined by social media posts."
