Greenland Prime Minister: "We Are Not For Sale"

The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated unequivocally that Greenland chooses Denmark and does not wish to be under the control or sovereignty of the United States. This statement came in response to recent discussions about the island's status and potential attempts to purchase it by the United States. Nielsen stressed that Greenland "is not for sale" and that his government is fully committed to maintaining its relationship with Denmark. He also expressed confidence in the NATO alliance and unity with the Kingdom of Denmark. The Greenlandic Prime Minister's statement is a clear response to recent reports of interest from the US government in buying Greenland, which had provoked strong reactions from the local community and Denmark. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, with its own parliament and government.
