OSLO, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Sunday that the United States has no right to annex Greenland, calling on Washington to stop threatening its close ally and the people of Greenland.
“I must say this very clearly to the United States,” M. Frederiksen said in her statement, emphasizing that the United States has no right to annex any of the three parts of the Danish Kingdom – Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
The politician emphasized that the Kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland, is part of NATO and therefore falls under the alliance's security guarantees. She added that the defense agreement between Denmark and the United States already grants Washington broad access to Greenland.
The Prime Minister called on Washington to stop making threats against a "historically close ally" and against "another country and another people," who, she noted, had made it clear they were not for sale.
Frederiksen's statement came after US President Donald Trump said in a telephone interview with The Atlantic on Sunday that the United States "absolutely" wants Greenland.
Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in gaining control of Greenland, saying he would not rule out using "military or economic coercion" to achieve this goal. –0–
