Denmark PM to Trump: Stop Greenland Annexation Threats, US Has No Right

• Danish PM Mette Frederiksen urged US President Donald Trump to cease "threats" regarding the US taking over Greenland, stating the US has no right to annex the territory.
• The remarks followed a social media post by Katie Miller, wife of a Trump aide, implying US annexation of Greenland, which Trump has repeatedly suggested due to its strategic location and mineral resources.
• Frederiksen emphasized that Denmark and Greenland are NATO members, covered by collective security, and highlighted existing defense agreements providing US forces access to Greenland.
• She firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale and urged the US to respect the sovereignty of the Danish kingdom and its people, calling the US a "historically close ally."
• Concerns about US military ambitions were intensified by Trump's move to detain Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with Greenland's Premier Jens Frederik Nielsen also reacting to the social media post.

Why It Matters: Denmark firmly rejects US annexation of Greenland, asserting sovereignty and existing NATO security.
