As Trump vows to "get Greenland," direct flights from the U.S. are starting − on his birthday. Who will visit? What kind of reception will they get?

The French president is visiting the Danish autonomous territory on Sunday. He will meet with Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen.

The project would have to be “well-capitalized with sufficient equity from strategic investors” to receive the loan, the letter said.

French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Greenland is “not to be sold” nor “to be taken” in a key visit to the strategic Arctic territory coveted by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The French leader was visiting Greenland — a self-governing part of Denmark with the right to declare independence that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to take over — ahead of a trip to Canada for the G7 leaders' summit.

Denmark approves bill allowing US military bases with sweeping powers over Danish civilians. Critics warn of sovereignty loss amid Greenland dispute.

To address concerns voiced by Trump that Denmark could not defend Greenland in the face of Russian or Chinese confrontation, Frederiksen says it would be a priority for Denmark to step up its defense role in the Arctic in partnership with other NATO countries as well as to do more on Europe's eastern frontier.

This move comes as President Donald Trump seeks to take control of the kingdom's semi-autonomous territory of Greenland.
