"It makes absolutely no sense to speak of any necessity for the United States to take over Greenland. The United States has no legal basis to annex one of the three countries of the Kingdom of Denmark. The statement continued: The Kingdom of Denmark and thus Greenland is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance's collective security guarantee."
"We already have a defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States that grants the U.S. broad access to Greenland. In addition, the Kingdom has made significant investments in security in the Arctic. I therefore strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale."
Denmark rejects any U.S. claim or necessity to take over Greenland and states the United States has no legal basis to annex one of the Kingdom of Denmark's countries. Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark are NATO members and are covered by the Alliance's collective security guarantee. A defence agreement grants the United States broad access to Greenland, and the Kingdom has made significant investments in Arctic security. Denmark urges the United States to stop threats against a historically close ally and affirms that Greenland and its people are not for sale. The matter arises alongside U.S. assertions about Greenland's strategic value and a U.S. military presence there.
