“We Choose Denmark”: Greenland Responds to Trump’s Threats

The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated that Greenland will choose to remain a territory of Denmark rather than join the United States, following threats from US President Donald Trump to occupy the island. The statement was made at a press conference in Copenhagen, alongside the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen. This move is a response to the geopolitical crisis caused by Trump’s proposals. Frederiksen described the pressure exerted by Trump as “completely unacceptable.”
