Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen spoke to TIME on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference .

She talks about her call with President Trump , what it means for his relationship with Europe .

She says she's trying to convince the rest of Europe to stick together with the U.S. and NATO .

The Faroe Islands and Greenland are part of the Kingdom of Denmark .

Greenlandic government is looking in the direction of the U.S. and other reliable partners, not China .

I don’t believe in changing your strategy, I believe in following your strategy and sticking to it.

For me, the easiest and cheapest way to achieve a just, reliable peace in Europe is NATO .

One idea that has been on the table is maybe not NATO membership, but a ceasefire or peace agreement with some kind of troops on the ground.

If Russia does a single move that goes against what we have agreed on, then Article 5 comes into effect.

One of the things I have really enjoyed in recent years is this horseshoe that has formed in Europe with The Netherlands , the U.K. , the Nordic countries, the Baltic States , and Poland .
