After being sworn in as the new prime minister, Jens Frederik Nielsen firmly rejected US President Trump's claim that the US would acquire Greenland, emphasizing that the island has the right to determine its own future. Nielsen, who aims for Greenland's gradual independence from Denmark, addressed the external pressures facing the territory. During this politically charged time, a US delegation led by Vice-president JD Vance criticized Denmark’s investment in Greenland, which provoked a defensive response from Denmark's foreign minister regarding the tone of such criticisms.
President Trump says that the United States 'will get Greenland.' Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else.
I don't take anything off the table,” Trump concluded, underlining his willingness to pursue different avenues for acquiring Greenland.
Nielsen called for political unity to combat external pressures while advocating for Greenland's gradual independence from Denmark.
Vice-president JD Vance criticized Denmark's handling of Greenland's needs, stating, 'You have underinvested in the people of Greenland and you have underinvested in the security architecture.'
