Greenland PM Says Trump’s Position on Arctic Island Remains Unchanged
Trump has repeatedly advocated for US control over Greenland, citing national security concerns related to Russia and China, and previously threatened sanctions on European countries opposing the move. He later withdrew the threats after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos, noting that a framework for negotiations over Greenland and the broader Arctic region had been established.
Speaking to parliament in the capital Nuuk, Greenland Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen said the US president’s view of the territory and its population remains unchanged. "Overall, the message and objective are clear: Greenland must be taken over and governed by the US," Nielsen said, according to local media. "Unfortunately, this remains valid and unchanged."
Diplomatic talks between the US, Denmark, and Greenland began last week in an effort to resolve the issue.
