A blackout has been reported in Greenland's capital Nuuk after threats from US President Donald Trump, who recently said that his country wants Greenland but won't take it by force. Electricity provider Nukissiorfiit said it was due to an accident, adding that it was working to provide backup power. The disruption followed an update to Greenlandic authorities' emergency preparedness guidelines.
