Two college students, both United States citizens from the Chicago area, were have been charged with assault while visiting Denmark on their spring break, according to a statement by Copenhagen police.

Owen Ray, a 19-year-old studying at the University of Miami in Ohio, and his unnamed friend were detained at Copenhagen Airport on April 1 over an alleged dispute with an Uber driver the night prior, Jordan Finfer, a U.S.-based attorney for Ray's family, told ABC News.

If our allies need to do more, they are also a benefit to our national security.

The countries that have been most discomfited by Trump 2.0 so far are probably Canada, Denmark, and Ukraine.

This is not exactly the axis of evil, or the axis of anything except countries that are either dependent on the United States or otherwise easily pushed around.

The tone of the first couple of months of the Trump administration has been overwhelmingly one of disregard at best, or contempt and hostility at worst, for our longtime allies.

Greenland will strengthen its ties with Denmark until it can become a sovereign nation, the Arctic island's incoming prime minister told Reuters on Monday, noting that the semi-autonomous Danish territory ultimately wants to become independent.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, 33, was sworn in as prime minister of Greenland on Friday and will lead a four-party coalition government amid challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions to control the island.

Second Lady Usha Vance, the wife of the United States Vice President JD Vance, is due to visit the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland this week, the White House said Sunday.

Vance will be accompanied by one of her three children as part of a US delegation that will also include President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

On Tuesday, citizens of Greenland crowded parliamentary polls. Their votes will determine which lawmakers will shape Greenland's policy at a pivotal moment.

Greenlanders have expressed desire to emancipate themselves from Denmark. They have also shown disinterest in joining America, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's hopes of annexation.

The eyes of the world are locked on Greenland, infusing Greenland with worry, fear and hope.

It was a contentious, aggressive telephone call, five days before the inauguration of President Trump on Jan. 20.

Speaking to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark, Mr. Trump insisted he wanted the United States to take over Greenland, the massive and autonomous Danish island that occupies a strategic part of the ocean as the ice caps melt and new shipping lanes open up.

US President Donald Trump has ridiculed Denmark’s attempts to defend Greenland with additional patrols including two extra dog sleds as he insisted America would take control of the strategically crucial Arctic island. Denmark’s defence minister has conceded that the Nordic country has not done enough to protect its autonomous territory of Greenland, but revealed plans to spend $1.5bn on two new inspection ships, two drones and two dog sled patrols after Trump renewed his interest in the island.

An abandoned railroad cuts through deep snow and an icy wind rattles the empty window frames of a derelict fish processing plant in the deserted village of Qoornoq, perched on the edge of Greenland’s second-biggest fjord between chunks of glacial ice.

Once a busy Arctic fishing village, Qoornoq is one of dozens of traditional Inuit settlements across Greenland whose residents were forcibly relocated by their Danish colonial rulers to apartment blocks in larger towns, in what was billed in the 1950s-70s as a modernisation drive.

A Greenlandic government minister has said she views Donald Trump’s interest in the territory as positive, saying it has acted as a “wake-up call to Copenhagen” after years of failing to adequately respond to its demands for action on minerals and alleged abuses by the Danish state.

Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland’s minister for housing, infrastructure, minerals, justice and gender equality, said the government had been trying to drum up interest in collaboration with both the EU and the US for “many years”, but it was only now that it was getting the attention it had been seeking.
