'Greenland is not for sale' Denmark's Frederiksen reminds Trump

Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Greenland was "not for sale" after renewed comments by Donald Trump suggesting the Arctic territory should be controlled by Washington rather than Copenhagen.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit in Turkey, Frederiksen said she believed the US position had become increasingly explicit.

"I heard the US president yesterday and I think the US position is unfortunately very clear on this topic. Our position is as clear as it has been all through: Greenland is, of course, not for sale," she said.

The remarks underscore the continuing disagreement between Denmark and the United States over the future of Greenland.

Frederiksen said Denmark and Greenland expected their allies to respect the island's future, adding: "We hope that all, including all allies, will respect the Greenland people right for self-determination."

It is shameful that Trump had to be reminded---publicly to keep his hands OFF Greenland.




"I heard the US president yesterday and I think the US position is unfortunately very clear on this topic. Our position is as clear as it has been all through: Greenland is, of course, not for sale," she said.

that Denmark's PM would call out the clear comparison between Donny's infatuation with forcibly taking over Greenland and his pal/master Vlad's desire to recreate the Russian empire in Ukraine. Something like: "Yes, Donald, we know how much you want to show your master Vlad that you can do it too, but here in the West we don't attack sovereign countries without justification. So go put your toys away." Wouldn't that be wonderful?
