Greenland Rejects Trump's Takeover Push: 'If We Have To Choose, Then It's Denmark'

  • Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen unequivocally stated the island would choose Denmark over the US if forced to decide now.
  • Nielsen emphasized that Greenland does not wish to be owned, governed, or part of the United States.
  • The remarks are the strongest rejection yet of US President Donald Trump's proposal to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
  • Trump claims Greenland is critical for US national security against Russia and China in the Arctic, even floating the idea of buying it.
  • Denmark, a NATO ally, firmly opposes any military seizure, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling it "unacceptable pressure."

Why It Matters: Greenland firmly rejects US takeover bids, reaffirming its allegiance to Denmark amidst geopolitical tensions.
