NUUK, Greenland (Reuters) - Denmark's prime minister will visit semi-autonomous Greenland on Wednesday for talks with the territory's incoming government, following U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated expressions of interest in controlling the Arctic island.

Mette Frederiksen begins her three-day trip less than a week after a visit to the territory by U.S. Vice President JD Vance received a frosty reception from authorities in Denmark and Greenland.
