Greenland's New Prime Minister Rejects U.S. Annexation, Strengthens Denmark Ties

Jens-Frederik Nielsen reaffirms Greenland's autonomy and sovereignty goals while welcoming Denmark's Prime Minister for talks on future cooperation.

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's push to annex the island, stating Greenland is 'not for sale.'
Nielsen has emphasized strengthening Greenland's relationship with Denmark as a step toward achieving eventual independence.
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is set to visit Greenland this week to discuss collaboration with the newly formed coalition government.
Greenland's new Foreign Affairs representative, Vivian Motzfeldt, has criticized the timing of Frederiksen's visit, calling it inappropriate as the government is not yet officially in office.
The dispute highlights broader geopolitical tensions in the Arctic, with the U.S. facing firm resistance from Greenland and Denmark over its annexation efforts.
