Greenland PM Asserts Territory Not for Sale to US

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that the United States intends to take control of the island, emphasizing that Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark. In a Facebook post, Nielsen stated, 'Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future.' This response follows Trump's remarks suggesting that military action could be considered for the annexation, although he also indicated that it might be achievable without force. The situation has sparked significant anger among Greenland's residents and politicians, as well as pushback from Danish leaders. Trump controversially remarked that he does not care about the implications such actions might have for international relations, particularly regarding Russia. The escalating tensions underline the complexities surrounding Greenland's political status and its resources.
