Paris, January 29 (Xinhua) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday denied reports of a NATO-US agreement on Greenland.
"It's not an agreement," M. Frederiksen told French television channel France 2 when asked about US President Donald Trump's announcement in Davos that he had reached an agreement with NATO on Greenland.
In essence, the state is sovereign, its borders must be respected, as must the right of other peoples to self-determination, M. Frederiksen said in an interview.
If military means are used in Greenland, everything will come to a standstill, M. Frederiksen noted, adding that “it would go against everything we have built since the end of World War II.”
M. Frederiksen arrived in France on Wednesday together with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
French President Emmanuel Macron said at a joint press conference that the escalation of tensions with the United States over Greenland is a strategic alarm signal for Europe as a whole, while reaffirming France's solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.
Greenland, the world's largest island, is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Copenhagen retains control over Greenland's defense and foreign policy. Since returning to office in 2025, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to "acquire" Greenland—a move Europe has repeatedly rejected.
