US President Donald Trump's calls that Greenland should become part of the United States has been met with international condemnation as the autonomous Danish territory's prime minister warned "that's enough now".
Washington's military intervention in Venezuela has reignited fears for Greenland, which Mr Trump has repeatedly said he wants to annex, given its strategic location in the Arctic.
While aboard Air Force One en route to Washington, Mr Trump reiterated the goal.
"We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it," he said in response to a reporter's question.
"We'll worry about Greenland in about two months ... let's talk about Greenland in 20 days."
The territory's prime minister issued a clear warning: "That's enough now."
"No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation," Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Facebook.

Greenland is open to dialogue with the United States as long as communication occurs through the proper channels, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in response to US President Donald Trump's repeated claims to the island.
