Greenland stands firm: "We cannot be bought," PM tells Trump

• Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, responded to Donald Trump's statements regarding the U.S. potentially taking over Greenland.
• Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News, claimed that the United States will "have" Greenland and did not rule out the use of military force.
• Nielsen emphasized in his Facebook post that Greenland will determine its own future and cannot be owned by another country.

The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, reacted strongly to Donald Trump's statements, made during an interview with NBC News, where Trump declared that the United States will "have" Greenland. Trump did not rule out the use of military force, although he noted that it might not be necessary.

In response to these statements, Nielsen wrote on Facebook: "President Trump says that the United States 'will get Greenland.' Let me be clear: The United States cannot do that. We cannot be owned. We will shape our own future."

Donald Trump, during his first term as President of the U.S. (2017-21), expressed interest in taking control of Greenland. According to Trump, the United States needs this island for international security reasons. The visit of U.S. administration representatives to the U.S. military base in Greenland further confirms the strategic importance of this territory for the United States.

The Prime Minister of Greenland made it clear that his country does not intend to submit to pressure from the United States. "We cannot be owned. We will shape our own future," Nielsen emphasized in his Facebook post. Greenland, as an autonomous territory of Denmark, has the right to self-determination and can decide its own future without outside interference.
