The US will not get Greenland, its new prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has said in response to Donald Trump’s latest statements that he wants to take control of the vast Arctic country.
“President Trump says that the United States is getting Greenland. Let me be clear: the United States won’t get that. We do not belong to anyone else. We determine our own future,” Nielsen said.
During an interview with NBC on Saturday, the US president said: “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%” .
Earlier the US vice-president, JD Vance, who arrived on the island. said: “Our message to Denmark is very simple: you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass.”
The Danish foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said on Saturday: “We are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it’s being delivered.
“This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies”, Rasmussen said.
