President Donald Trump has been repeatedly making statements about bringing Greenland under US control. Meanwhile, Greenland's Prime Minister emphasized his preference for remaining with Denmark. In response, President Trump said, "Well, that's their problem. I disagree with them. I don't know them. I don't know anything about them. But it's going to be a big problem for them."
Danish and Greenlandic leaders have united in opposition to President Trump's call for the US to acquire the strategically important Arctic island. In perhaps their strongest reaction yet, the Prime Ministers of Denmark and Greenland emphasized on Tuesday that the territory is part of Denmark and falls under the NATO military alliance.
Danish, Greenlandic, and US leaders to meet at the White House today
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen sought to emphasize their unity. Their foreign ministers, Lars Løkke Rasmussen of Denmark and Vivian Motzfeldt of Greenland, were preparing for talks with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday.
"We will select Denmark": Greenland's PM.
During a joint press conference in Copenhagen, Frederiksen said, "Dear Greenlanders, you should know that we stand together today, we will stand together tomorrow, and we will continue to do so." Nielsen added, "If we had to select between the US and Denmark right here and now, we would select Denmark. We would select NATO. We would select the Kingdom of Denmark. We would select the European Union."
Greenland says its country is not for sale.
Earlier this week, Trump reiterated his argument that the US must acquire Greenland, otherwise Russia or China will get it. He also said that he would prefer to reach an agreement for the territory, but that Greenland would be acquired by the US one way or another. Danish officials have made it clear that they are willing to increase cooperation with the US military in Greenland, but they have repeatedly stated that the territory is not for sale.
