Denmark said Monday it would summon the US ambassador after President Donald Trump announced he had appointed a special envoy to Greenland, the Danish autonomous territory he has threatened to annex.

“I am deeply angered by the appointment and the statement, which I find totally unacceptable,” Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told Denmark’s TV2 in an interview, adding that the foreign ministry would call in the US ambassador in the coming days “to get an explanation”.
