Mette Frederiksen

The Danish prime minister and EU rejected US President Trump's remarks suggesting the US should take over Greenland. Trump claimed Greenland was 'not important for Denmark' and referenced historical control, while Denmark and the EU emphasized Greenland's status as a Danish territory. Spain also downplayed Trump's criticism of its trade relationship with the US.

Trump reignited tensions over Greenland at a NATO summit, prompting European leaders to warn him to respect Denmark's sovereignty over the territory. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized NATO's collective defense commitment, while other leaders, including Norway and Iceland, distanced themselves from Trump's claims and reaffirmed support for Denmark.

Ukraine has signed its ninth Drone Deal agreement with Denmark, expanding joint defense production, arms export access, and expertise sharing. President Volodymyr Zelensky and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also discussed developing a joint European anti-ballistic missile capability.

Russia likely used shadow ships to launch drones over Europe, disrupting civilian aviation and testing NATO air defenses between 2024 and 2026. A report by the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) documented 144 suspected drone sightings across multiple NATO countries, with incidents peaking in late 2025 and causing airport closures. The campaign aimed to avoid triggering a collective NATO response, exposing weaknesses in European air defense systems.

Denmark supports EU efforts to establish migrant deportation centers outside the bloc, with its leader Mette Frederiksen advocating for stricter immigration policies to counter the far right. Spain recently granted legal status to 500,000 undocumented workers, contrasting with the UK's approach to immigration crackdowns.

Denmark suggests the EU could establish deportation centers outside Europe by next year. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen supports creating 'return hubs' for irregular migrants outside the continent.

Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Spain's Pedro Sánchez clashed during an EU meeting over Spain's legalization of 500,000 asylum-seekers, with Sánchez arguing most migrants were from South America. The dispute follows the EU's approval of legislation allowing deportation hubs in third countries, which Spain opposes but Italy and Denmark support.
