The new Prime Minister of Greenland responded to Trump's threats

The new Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, responded to the statements of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, about the possible acquisition or annexation of Greenland by emphasizing the sovereignty and independence of his country. He assured the citizens of Greenland that the country is not going to submit to external pressure.

The country's leader wrote about it on Facebook. 

What the Prime Minister of Greenland said in response to Trump's claims

Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated that Greenland would defend its interests peacefully, with unity and dignity. He called on the people to exercise restraint and confidence in defending Greenland's independence.

"We must clearly and calmly demonstrate to the President of the United States that Greenland belongs to us. It was so yesterday, it is so today, and it will always be so," the Prime Minister said.

This statement was a response to Donald Trump's interview with NBC News, where he expressed the United States' desire to "100% get Greenland" and did not rule out the possibility of a military takeover.

The other day, the US Vice President JD Vance and his wife flew to Greenland, but the visit was short — about three hours — because Greenland refused to provide any services to these "tourists".

As a reminder, in January, the media reported that Greenland was being urged to join the EU as soon as possible to "protect" itself from Donald Trump's wishes.

Earlier, the Financial Times wrote about how the occupation of Greenland could end for Trump.
