"According to Danish TV2, the meeting will take place in a specially secured room, where not only mobile phones but also coffee cups cannot be brought in."

Keir Starmer now tells PA: "Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark are to decide the future of Greenland, and only Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark."

European leaders rally in support of Greenland and Denmark. No such statements from Starmer though.

Prime Ministers of Sweden and Norway also both make statements in support of Greenland and Denmark. Nordic solidarity.

Iceland’s PM also makes statement in support of Greenland and Denmark

Danish PM publicly urges the US to stop threatening Greenland

Not sure what that changes about anything I’ve said re the probabilities of a US invasion on Greenland. The US has already conducted hybrid & covert operations in Greenland - a military invasion would be of a completely different magnitude with global implications.

Either way Europe would be in crisis. European acquiescence would be a complete travesty, while a military defence of Greenland could spiral into a full war.

One NATO country attacking another would be incredibly destabilising for the alliance. Would we also expect Denmark not to mount some type of response? (Which would necessarily involve wider Europe?).

I agree, that is true. But - the global consequences of invading Greenland could very quickly spiral into something far far bigger.

In the eyes of many tourists (esp with package holidays), Lapland is looked at as just a disneyfied resort - the «home of Santa Claus» etc. But the region is also Sápmi, with a long history.
