Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told U.S. President Donald Trump to cease what she described as "threats" regarding the potential U.S. acquisition of Greenland. Frederiksen stated that the notion of the United States taking over Greenland "makes absolutely no sense" and asserted that "The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom," according to a statement posted on the Danish government website.

Frederiksen's remarks followed a tweet by Katie Miller, the wife of Trump aide Stephen Miller, which depicted a map of Greenland in the colors of the American flag accompanied by the word "SOON." Trump has repeatedly suggested the possibility of Greenland becoming a U.S. territory, citing its strategic importance and mineral resources. He reiterated these claims after Frederiksen's initial comments.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Denmark, and by extension Greenland, is a member of NATO and therefore covered by the alliance's security guarantee. She also noted the existing defense agreement between Denmark and the U.S., which grants the U.S. access to Greenland. Furthermore, she highlighted Denmark's increased investment in security within the Arctic region. "I would therefore strongly urge the," Frederiksen stated, before the statement was cut off in the source material.

The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland is not new. The U.S. government has previously explored the possibility, including a formal proposal in 1946. Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, is strategically located between North America and Europe and possesses significant mineral wealth.

The current status of the situation remains unresolved. While President Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, the Danish government has firmly rejected the idea. The incident highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics in the Arctic region and the importance of international cooperation in addressing issues related to sovereignty and security. Further developments are anticipated as discussions continue between the U.S. and Denmark.
