Denmark Rejects Trump’s Renewed Claims on Greenland

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has reaffirmed that Greenland is not for sale, responding to President Donald Trump’s latest statements about US control over the territory.

• Frederiksen said on the sidelines of a NATO summit that Denmark’s position has been clear from the start: Greenland is not for sale.
• Trump reiterated in Ankara on Tuesday that Greenland should be under US control, but without the threats made earlier this year.
• Trump had previously spoken about the possibility of controlling the autonomous Danish territory, citing US national security.
• Frederiksen called on all allies to respect Greenland’s right to self-determination and Denmark’s sovereignty.
