  President Trump said the Peace Board 'will embark on a new approach to resolving global conflict'. Reports surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace have ignited global debate after claims surfaced that countries may be asked to contribute $1 billion to secure or maintain permanent membership.

Denmark Pushes Back as PM Urges Trump to Halt Greenland Annexation Threats

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to stop making threats about taking over Greenland, responding firmly to renewed comments from Trump about the island’s strategic value.

Frederiksen emphasized that the United States has no authority to claim any part of the Danish Kingdom and reiterated that Greenland “is not for sale.” She noted that Greenlanders have repeatedly expressed their desire for self‑determination and that discussions about annexation are inappropriate between close allies.

Trump’s remarks, made in a recent interview, revived earlier tensions over his interest in Greenland’s natural resources and military positioning. His comments also raised concerns in Copenhagen about the possibility of unilateral U.S. actions in the Arctic.

The exchange marks one of the most direct public disagreements between Denmark and the United States in recent years, highlighting the growing strategic importance of the Arctic region.
