Denmark updated its coat of arms amid Trump's ambitions for Greenland, according to The Guardian.

King Frederick X of Denmark has altered the royal coat of arms, making Greenland and the Faroe Islands more prominent, indicating an intention to maintain control over these territories.

According to reports from The Guardian.

It is noted that for the past five centuries, previous Danish royal coats of arms featured three crowns – a symbol of the Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. However, in the updated version, the crowns have been removed and replaced with a more noticeable polar bear and ram, representing Greenland and the Faroe Islands, respectively.

The publication states that this move comes amid rising tensions regarding Greenland and its relations with Denmark, which continues to oversee its foreign and security policies. Additionally, newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump recently reiterated his desire for the U.S. to purchase Greenland.

Last week, in his first New Year’s address, Frederick X spoke of unity and commitment to the Kingdom of Denmark – from the Danish minority in Southern Schleswig, which is even located outside the kingdom, all the way to Greenland.

“We belong to each other,” emphasized the Danish king.

Since 1819, the royal coat of arms in Denmark has been changed three times: in 1903, 1948, and 1972, reported The Guardian.

It is worth noting that recently, Donald Trump has made several statements regarding the territories of other countries. In particular, he has suggested multiple times that Canada should become the 51st state and has stated that it is essential for America to have control over Greenland.

Background. Previously, Mind reported that the Danish government announced a significant increase in defense spending for Greenland just hours after elected U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his desire to purchase the world's largest Arctic island.
