“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have a NATO right now,” he said. “But we’re not going to allow Russia or China to occupy Greenland, and that’s what’s going to happen if we don’t.”
Greenland’s Prime Minister Pushes Back
Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has strongly rebuked Trump’s remarks.
In a public response, Nielsen rejected any suggestion of annexation.
“Threats, pressure and talk of annexation have no place between friends,” he said.
“That is not how you speak to people who have shown responsibility, stability and loyalty time and again.”
He concluded with a firm warning:
“Enough is enough. No more pressure. No more innuendo. No more fantasies about annexation.”
UNILAD has reached out to the White House and the Joint Special Operations Command for comment.
