The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, announced that the island will choose Denmark over the United States, thus rejecting Donald Trump's threats to take control of Greenland. Nielsen emphasized that Greenland is not for sale and that the future of the island will be decided by Greenlanders, according to the autonomy statute. At a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Nielsen mentioned that pressure from the U.S. is unacceptable and that it is essential to maintain unity in the face of international challenges. Frederiksen added that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and highlighted the importance of dialogue and cooperation, without seeking conflict. Additionally, political leaders in Greenland reaffirmed the right of the residents to decide their future, in the context of external threats. Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland was motivated by national security considerations, in the context of competition with Russia and China in the Arctic.
