According to Copenhagen, the United States has <strong>no right to threaten or speak as if it controls Greenland<\/strong>, a semi-autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement has quickly drawn global attention, not only because of its sharp tone but also because it touches on <strong>sovereignty, Arctic geopolitics, and U.S.\u2013Europe relations<\/strong>.
