Greenland PM says island not a 'piece of property' for sale
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen visited Denmark for the first time since being elected, in a bid to strengthen ties. President Donald Trump has spoken of the US' desire to annex Greenland.
Summary
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, during his first visit to Denmark since taking office in March, rejected Donald Trump’s push to annex Greenland, stating the island "will never be a piece of property that can be bought."
Standing alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, he added, “We are in a foreign policy situation which means we have to move closer together.”
Frederiksen said Denmark was ready to invest more in Greenland as part of a “modernisation” of the two countries relationship.
