Denmark's PM Responds to Trump's Greenland Remarks

In a recent phone call, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asserted to President-elect Donald Trump that the future of Greenland is a matter for its own people to decide, refuting any notions of U.S. control. Frederiksen emphasized that Greenland is not for sale, echoing statements from Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede, while discussing the importance of Arctic security and cooperation between Denmark and the U.S. Trump, who has shown renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, did not dismiss the possibility of military intervention to assert U.S. interests in the region. The two leaders also covered broader geopolitical concerns, including the war in Ukraine and relations with China. Despite Egede's insistence on Greenland's autonomy, he expressed an interest in strengthening ties with the U.S. and exploring cooperation opportunities. Greenland's strategic location and resources remain significant factors in this ongoing dialogue.
