The leaders of Denmark and Greenland have urged US President Donald Trump to stop threatening to take over Greenland.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement that it makes "absolutely no sense" to talk about the US "needing" the territory.
Ms Frederiksen's comments come after President Trump reiterated his desire for the US to takeover the Danish territory, citing its strategic importance for defence.
