Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has issued a firm response to President Donald Trump regarding Greenland, rejecting any suggestion that the United States could take over the territory.

Speaking directly to Washington, Frederiksen said it made no sense to discuss a need for the United States to assume control of Greenland.

She stated that the United States has no right to annex any of the three countries within the Danish Commonwealth.

Frederiksen emphasized that the Kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the alliance’s collective security guarantee.

She also pointed out that a defense agreement already exists between Denmark and the United States, granting Washington broad access to Greenland.

According to the prime minister, Denmark has invested significantly in Arctic security and continues to treat the United States as a close ally.

She urged the United States to stop making threats against Denmark and Greenland, describing them as historically close partners and underscoring that Greenland’s people have made it clear they are not for sale.

The statement highlights rising diplomatic tension over Greenland’s strategic importance while reaffirming Denmark’s position on sovereignty and alliance cooperation.
