Greenland PM Rejects US Annexation Claims

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that the United States will annex Greenland, emphasizing the island's autonomy and determination to decide its own future. Trump's comments, made during an NBC interview, suggested a strong desire to acquire the resource-rich territory, even hinting at the possibility of using military force if necessary. This has led to heightened tensions with Denmark, Greenland's sovereign state, and sparked criticism from both Greenlandic and Danish leaders. U.S. Vice President JD Vance's recent visit to Greenland further strained relations, as he criticized Denmark's security measures on the island and advocated for U.S. protection. The situation has drawn international attention, with concerns about the geopolitical implications and the impact on U.S.-Danish relations. Despite the controversy, Trump remains undeterred, citing national security interests as a primary motivation for his annexation ambitions.
