Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen firmly rejected US President Donald Trump's annexation claims, asserting that the territory will independently determine its future. Trump's insistence on acquiring Greenland led to escalating tensions, particularly after Vice President JD Vance's critical remarks about Denmark's military presence there. In response, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen denounced the US's tone, emphasizing the need for respectful dialogue among allies. Despite the friction, Rasmussen reassured that Denmark and the US remain close allies, highlighting the ongoing importance of collaboration in Arctic security and geopolitics.
In a Facebook post, Greenland's PM asserted, "Let me be clear: The United States won't get that. We do not belong to anyone else. We determine our own future."
Trump expressed his firm belief about acquiring Greenland, stating, "We'll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent." He reiterated this point during an NBC News interview.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stated, "We do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered. This is not how you speak to your close allies."
Despite rising tensions, Rasmussen maintained that Denmark and the US are still close allies, emphasizing their collective commitment to Arctic security.
