US officials may face ban from Denmark’s July 4 event over Greenland threats

Denmark’s northern municipality of Aalborg has set a condition for funding the annual July 4 event celebrating US independence, requiring the exclusion of American officials as long as Washington’s threats toward Greenland persist, public broadcaster DR reported. Aalborg Municipality told local media on Wednesday it would withdraw its support for the Rebild Festival if tensions over Denmark’s autonomous region Greenland continue. President Donald Trump has said the island will be taken over by the US for national security reasons.
