The US and Denmark may be at odds over Greenland, but when it comes to solving its egg shortage, Washington is looking to Copenhagen for help.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has formally requested Denmark ramp up egg exports as American poultry farms battle the bird flu.

The reported request came amid tensions between Washington and Copenhagen over U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to take Greenland.

The outgoing prime minister of Greenland on Thursday said he would summon party leaders to strengthen their rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plan to annex the island territory, following his most recent comments on the issue.

The leaders of Greenland's political parties have denounced US President Donald Trump's vow to take over the Danish autonomous island.

Greenland’s leaders issued a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump’s renewed calls to annex it Thursday, after the president once again expressed his desire to take over the Arctic island.

The New York Times said the party was likely to enter a coalition with Inuit Ataqatigiit, a moderate party that came in third in this week’s election with 21.4% of the vote. Its leader is the current prime minister, Múte Egede, who has also dismissed joining the United States.

The leader of the winning party said he hoped the election would send a clear message to Trump that Greenland was “not for sale” and Greenlanders “don’t want to be Americans.”
