‘Greenland is not for sale’ Denmark’s Frederiksen reminds Trump
The renewed dispute comes months after Donald Trump revived his long-standing ambition for the United States to acquire Greenland, a proposal repeatedly rejected by Denmark and Greenland's leaders.
Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Greenland was "not for sale" after renewed comments by Donald Trump suggesting the Arctic territory should be controlled by Washington rather than Copenhagen.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, Frederiksen said she believed the US position had become increasingly explicit.
"I heard the US president yesterday and I think the US position is unfortunately very clear on this topic. Our position is as clear as it has been all through: Greenland is, of course, not for sale," she said.
The remarks underscore the continuing disagreement between Denmark and the United States over the future of Greenland.
