‘Enough is enough!’ - Greenland sends a clear message to Trump over annexation scenarios

The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens Frederik Nielsen, has firmly rejected repeated statements by Donald Trump regarding the island and the possibility of flying the American flag there. Nielsen described these statements as "pressure", "implications", and "annexation fantasies". Through a Facebook post, the Prime Minister of Greenland emphasized that his country is open to dialogue and negotiations, but only through proper diplomatic channels and with respect for international law. This statement is a clear response to the provocative remarks of the former US president. Greenland, as an autonomous region of Denmark, has repeatedly expressed its desire to maintain its sovereignty and avoid any interference from foreign powers. Trump's recent move provoked strong reactions in local society and the Greenlandic government. Nielsen's response underscores Greenland's determination to protect its national independence and maintain good relations with Denmark and other countries, based on the framework of international law.
