00:00Lindsey Graham has been accused of disrupting a diplomatic meeting in Munich with an expletive-filled exchange that included remarks

00:05directed at Denmark's Prime Minister.

00:07According to Danish newspaper Berlingska, Graham referred to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen as Little Lady during a meeting at a

00:13Munich hotel on Saturday.

00:15The discussion focused on President Donald Trump's earlier statements about annexing Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark,

00:21and a NATO ally.

00:25Several members of the U.S. House and Senate attended, along with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen.

00:34Sources cited described Graham as combative and said he used repeated profanity during the discussion.

01:03in reference to the ongoing discussion about the territory's status.

01:24has reportedly invested in Greenland's energy and rare earth sectors.
