Standing beside Denmark’s prime minister in Copenhagen on Tuesday, Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen made his strongest comments yet on President Trump’s push to annex the island. « If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark », he said, per the BBC. « One thing must be clear to everyone. Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States. Greenland does not want to be governed by the United States. Greenland does not want to be part of the United States. » He said the semi-autonomous Danish territory is « facing a geopolitical crisis. »
Trump has argued the US must « own » Greenland to counter Russia and China, saying a lease isn’t enough and « NATO’s got to understand that.
