Denmark firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated there was serious interest from President Trump in acquiring the territory. Rubio emphasized that the acquisition would serve U.S. national interests, suggesting potential military or economic pressure might be employed. Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen reiterated that Greenland is not for sale, highlighting that decisions about the island's future rest with its people. Opinion polls indicate most Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the U.S., advocating for an independent future instead.
This is not a joke. This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved.
We seriously mean—and this is also true in Greenland—that Greenland is not for sale.
