Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: “I have to say this very directly to the United States: It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland.
“The United States has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Commonwealth.
“The Kingdom of Denmark – and thus Greenland – is part of NATO and is therefore covered by the alliance’s security guarantee. We already have a defense agreement between the Kingdom and the United States today, which gives the United States wide access to Greenland. And we, on the part of the Kingdom, have invested significantly in security in the Aretic.
“I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have said very clearly that they are not for sale.”
French president Emmanuel Macron in December has thrown allegiance with Denmark, saying the decision of Greenland stands with the people, his post read: “In Nuuk, I reaffirmed France’s unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland.
“Greenland belongs to its people. Denmark stands as its guarantor.
“I join my voice to that of Europeans in expressing our full solidarity.”
