Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland's newly elected Prime Minister, asserted the territory's autonomy, stating that it belongs to its residents and they will determine their future. This statement comes amid US President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland for its strategic importance. The situation escalated with a US delegation visit, which provoked local leaders. Denmark responded critically to the US claims of insufficient investment in Greenland's security. Nielsen's remarks about self-determination and independence echo the sentiments of many Greenlandic residents, highlighting a strong desire to maintain control over their territory.
Nielsen emphasized that Greenland’s destiny is determined by its population, stating, 'We do not belong to anyone else' and asserting, 'That's how it was yesterday, that's how it is today, and that's how it will be in the future.'
In response to US Vice President Vance's remarks about security investment, Denmark's foreign minister expressed discontent, stating, 'I did not appreciate Vance's tone.'
President Trump reiterated his interest in Greenland, boldly claiming, 'We'll get Greenland. 100%,' reflecting the US's strategic interests in the Arctic territory.
Despite increased interest from the US, Nielsen made it clear that Greenland is an autonomous territory, emphasizing that its future is in the hands of its own people.
