Trump Greenland Threats: How Denmark Can Hit Back Against Trump on Greenland
Denmark is facing the prospect of a close ally, the U.S., taking of its territory by force. But despite only having a small army and navy, Denmark has no shortage of economic leverage with which it can try to persuade—or, if necessary, pressure – the U.S. president, notes Elisabeth Braw in her article for Foreign Policy. There are several Danish multinational companies without whose products and services Americans would feel immediate pain. The Scandinavian country is home to
Maersk, the world’s second-largest container-shipping company by cargo capacity. Millions of Americans would be affected if the health care company
Novo Nordisk were to be prevented from exporting to the United States. The company produces
semaglutide in Denmark and, despite many attempts by copycats and others, genuine Ozempic, which has revolutionized anti-obesity and diabetes treatment cannot yet be created in the United States.
