Greenland's recently appointed prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has rebuffed President Trump’s longstanding interest in acquiring the territory, asserting that the island belongs to its people and will decide its own future. He emphasized the need for Greenland to respond to external pressures with unity and dignity. Meanwhile, Trump's ambition for the territory has garnered support among some U.S. lawmakers who view it as a national security asset, leading to provocative statements about its status. Criticism arose over Denmark's management of Greenland, suggesting the need for increased attention to the territory's infrastructure and autonomy.
The U.S. is not getting that. We don't belong to anyone else. We decide our own future. We must not act out of fear.
We're going to get it one way or the other, Trump said during his address to Congress in February.
President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority.
There was a lot of criticism from Denmark... for saying the obvious, which is that Denmark hasn't done a good job at keeping pace.
