"We are not some piece of ice. We are a proud population of 57,000 people, working every single day as good global citizens in full respect for all our allies."
"Those things are being challenged now, and I think all allies should stand together to try to maintain them."
"NATO allies had already been scrambling earlier this year to find ways to keep the alliance together after Trump revived his push to seize Greenland from Denmark."
"The White House in January said Trump was weighing the use of military force in Greenland, leading Germany, France and other European nations to send small contingents of troops to the island in a message of solidarity and deterrence."
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen rejected U.S. President Trump's derogatory comments about Greenland, asserting the island's pride and commitment to global citizenship. He urged NATO allies to unite in defending international law and the post-war geopolitical order, which he believes are under threat. Trump's earlier comments about Greenland and military force prompted European nations to send troops to the island as a show of solidarity. Diplomatic talks between Greenland, Denmark, and the U.S. have since been initiated to address the situation.
