Greenland will never be 'piece of property' to be bought, PM says

Greenland’s prime minister and his Danish counterpart have presented a united front, criticising United States President Donald Trump’s administration for a lack of respect in its designs to seize the Arctic island, a self-governed Danish territory.

“We will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by anyone, and that’s the message I think is most important to understand,” Jens-Frederik Nielsen told reporters on Sunday at a joint news conference in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Trump’s repeated threats to take over Greenland loomed large over Nielsen’s first visit to Denmark since taking office this month.
