Oslo, January 2 (Xinhua) — Denmark's "closest ally" should not treat the country and its people as something "to be bought and possessed," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Thursday evening amid renewed speculation about Greenland's ownership.
Without mentioning the US directly, she said the past year had been marked by "threats, pressure and condescending talk" from "Denmark's closest ally for life."
Speaking at her official residence, M. Frederiksen addressed a range of issues, including the economy and social security. She also spoke out forcefully about the geopolitical pressures facing the country, particularly over the Greenland issue.
"Now there's a conflict again over Greenland—over the [Danish] kingdom," M. Frederiksen said of the renewed diplomatic tensions. She criticized the "desire to conquer another country, another people," calling such a mentality outdated.
"We bear our responsibility in the world. We are not seeking any kind of conflict," the head of government said. "But let no one doubt: no matter what happens, we will firmly distinguish between right and wrong."
As a reminder, on December 21, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy for Greenland, which led to renewed diplomatic tensions between Washington and the Kingdom of Denmark.
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–
