Denmark News Roundup for Tuesday: Up-to-date coverage of today's events in Denmark
Today in Denmark
channels some hot news from the land of the vikings, Denmark, here's what's happening this Tuesday!
Trump and the Greenland Game
In a curious turn of events, Trump, the ex-president-turned-social media mogul, has upped the ante on Greenland with his eldest son, Don Jr, planning a visit to the autonomous Danish territory. This comes two weeks after Trump threw a spanner in the works by suggesting that the U.S. could annex Greenland.
"My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights," Trump said, via his Truth Social site. "Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!"

The visit, classified as private, has raised eyebrows among Greenland's political circles. Despite no direct approach to the Greenlandic government, reports suggest that Don Jr may meet with Erik Jensen, leader of the governing Siumut party and finance minister in Greenland. Jensen, as of now, has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors.
Meanwhile, the Greenland Prime Minister, Múte Egede's meeting with King Frederik has been called off. The Prime Minister, citing "calendar gymnastics," felt the need to reschedule the meeting, which was supposed to take place in Copenhagen on Wednesday.
[THE STORMY SEA]
Denmark has been hit by a storm, with the west coast seeing peak waters this morning on the Wadden Sea coast. Residents are advised to prepare for potential flooding in vulnerable areas such as Esbjerg and Fanø.
[HEIST AT H&M]
Last year, clothing worth half a million Danish kroner was stolen from H&M stores across the county by two foreign nationals. The duo, a 41-year-old Ukrainian citizen and a 20-year-old from Moldova, have been sentenced to ten months in prison and face deportation. The stolen clothing is rumored to have been shipped to Germany.
