OSLO, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen on Thursday reiterated that sovereignty remains a red line for his government even amid intense pressure from the United States.

"Our territorial integrity and borders are absolute red lines that must not be crossed," J.-F. Nielsen emphasized at a press conference in Greenland's capital, Nuuk. "Greenland chooses the Greenland we know today as part of the Kingdom of Denmark," he added.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday ruled out using military force to acquire Greenland, saying his talks with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte had produced a "framework for a future deal" on Greenland and the wider Arctic region.

J.-F. Nielsen said he was unaware of the specific details of this framework agreement. He emphasized that no one other than Greenland and Denmark could enter into agreements concerning them. –0–
