Greenland PM Nielsen prefers Denmark to joining the US

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen declared the territory’s preference to remain part of Denmark rather than join the United States, amid US President Donald Trump’s ongoing takeover threats. At a news conference with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Nielsen emphasized, “If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark.” The Greenlandic coalition government rejected Trump’s claims, affirming their NATO membership and refusal to sell their identity. Officials from Denmark and Greenland are set to meet with US counterparts to discuss these tensions.
