King Frederik X of Denmark tweaked his country’s royal coat of arms to enlarge symbols of Greenland and the Faroe Islands in December amid President-elect Donald Trump’s overtures to acquire the Danish territory.

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede is leader of a left-wing political party that supports future independence from Denmark.

Before President-elect Donald Trump’s latest remarks, King Frederik X signaled his commitment to the territory in a decidedly old-fashioned way.

Denmark’s royal household said the new insignia “strengthens the prominence” of the Commonwealth, including Greenland, as Donald Trump again proposes buying the island.

The three crowns that had been on the coat of arms, the royal family said, had been removed “as it is no longer relevant.”

The Danish president appeared to be a response to President-elect Donald Trump after boldly claiming he wanted to buy the territory for the United States.

Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Greenland as the president-elect seeks control of the territory from Denmark, whose King Frederik changed the royal coat of arms.

The art of making this deal just got a bit harder. King Frederik of Denmark has changed the royal coat of arms to emphasize a symbol of Greenland, in a perceived rebuke to Donald Trump who has said he wants to buy the Danish-owned territory.
