Greenland PM calls Trump’s remarks on Island unacceptable
“The current and repeated rhetoric from the United States is completely unacceptable. When the US president talks about 'needing Greenland' and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not just wrong. It is disrespectful,” Nielsen said on social media.
Acknowledging Greenland’s NATO membership and strategic location, he emphasized the importance of a “respectful and loyal relationship” with Washington, adding that “threats, pressure and talk of annexation have no place between friends.”
Nielsen stressed: “Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends. Enough is enough. No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation.”
He noted that Greenland is open to dialogue conducted through “proper channels and in respect of international law,” but said: “And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media. Greenland is our home and our territory. And that is how it will remain.”
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also weighed in, urging the US to “stop the threats” against a “historically close ally” and its people, who “have made it very clear that they are not for sale.”
Frederiksen added: “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about it being necessary for the United States to take over Greenland. The United States has no legal basis to annex one of the three countries of the Realm of the Kingdom (Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands).”
