The United States will not get Greenland, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Sunday in a post on Facebook in response to US President Donald Trump’s statements he wants to take control of the vast Arctic country.
“President Trump says that the United States is getting Greenland. Let me be clear: The United States won’t get that.
“We do not belong to anyone else. We determine our own future,” Nielsen said in the social media post.
Trump on Saturday told NBC News he “absolutely” had real conversations about annexing the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 per cent,” Trump said, according to NBC.
