Reference News website, January 14 report: According to Singapore's "Today" newspaper, January 13 report, the Prime Minister of the Greenland Autonomous Government, Nilsen, said that after US President Trump threatened to annex Greenland, this autonomous territory will choose to remain in Denmark rather than become part of the United States.
AFP reported that Nilsen said on the 13th: "We are facing a geopolitical crisis. If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark now, we choose Denmark."
He said: "One thing must be clear to everyone: Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States. Greenland does not want to be under American jurisdiction. Greenland does not want to become part of the United States."
He made the statement together with the Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen. Frederiksen said: "There are signs that the most challenging part is still ahead of us."
However, she also emphasized: "Of course, we hope to strengthen security cooperation with the United States, NATO, Europe, and the Arctic countries of NATO in the Arctic region."
On the 14th, Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen and the Greenland Autonomous Government's Foreign Minister Mottas will meet with US Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio at the White House.
Trump has repeatedly claimed to take over Greenland. He even said on January 11 that the United States "will get Greenland regardless of the circumstances."
Greenland became a Danish colony in 1721, was incorporated into Denmark in 1953, and gained local autonomy in 1979. Since World War II, the United States has had military bases in Greenland.
