During last week's tense call with the Danish premier, Trump insisted he was serious about taking over Greenland, the Financial Times reported, raising fears about the future of trans-Atlantic relations.

President Trump said Denmark will “come along” on the potential sale of Greenland and emphasized the U.S. and others need the Arctic island to fortify international security in the region.
