OSLO, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Monday criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed claims that the United States needs Greenland, condemning his remarks as "unacceptable pressure" on the autonomous territory.
"Unfortunately, I think the American president should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland," she said in an interview with local television station DR. The head of government emphasized that both Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly rejected any idea of the island becoming part of the United States.
When asked what would happen if the United States used force against another NATO member, she replied, "If the US attacked another NATO country, everything would stop." Frederiksen added that she could not speak for US actions, but "there is full support from Europe that borders must be respected."
D. Trump said in a phone interview with The Atlantic magazine on Sunday that the United States "absolutely" needs Greenland.
In response, Frederiksen said on Sunday that the United States has no right to annex Greenland. She called on Washington to stop threatening its close ally and the people of Greenland.
