Europe and the United States must stick together as they share concerns over Arctic security, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Jan. 28.

“The world order as we know it that we have been fighting for 80 years is over and I don’t think it will return,” Frederiksen, alongside Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, told a conference at Sciences Po University in Paris, France.
