Greenland’s prime minister has ruled out any U.S. takeover of the Arctic territory, stressing that Greenland is not a piece of property to be bought.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has declared that the Arctic territory will never be a "piece of property" to be bought.
Nielsen made the comments during a three-day visit to Denmark, where an agreement was signed to strengthen ties between Copenhagen and Nuuk.
His statement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed renewed interest in taking control of Greenland, arguing that Washington needs the strategically located island for security reasons.
The leaders of Denmark and Greenland have insisted that only Greenlanders can decide the territory’s future. However, they have been cautious in firmly rejecting U.S. ambitions while maintaining strong ties with their traditional ally.
During his visit, Nielsen is also scheduled to meet Denmark’s King Frederik and representatives of the Danish parliament. The Royal House said the king will later accompany Nielsen back to Greenland for a visit to the Arctic island.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said “you cannot spy against an ally” following reports that the U.S. has increased intelligence efforts in Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Denmark’s King Frederik began a visit to Greenland on Monday to reinforce ties with the semi-autonomous territory following U.S. President Donald Trump’s calls to acquire the island.
Greenland’s new Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Sunday that the island is working to deepen its ties with Denmark in response to what he called disrespectful rhetoric from the U.S. administration
