Denmark Vows to Defend Greenland Amidst Renewed US Control Push
President Donald Trump reiterated his desire for U.S. control over Greenland, asserting its critical importance for global protection. He stated that the island is vital for the United States but not for Denmark, suggesting it was a past U.S. acquisition that was unwisely returned. In response, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen firmly declared Greenland is not for sale and pledged to defend “every inch of NATO, including our own territory,” emphasizing respect for Greenlandic self-determination and Danish sovereignty.
