COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen will visit Greenland on April 2-4 for talks with the semi-autonomous territory's new government, she said on Saturday, amid U.S. interest in taking control of the Arctic island.

"I look forward to continuing the close and trusting cooperation between Greenland and Denmark," Frederiksen said in a statement.
