Greenland’s PM says island cannot be bought and US showing disrespect
New Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Sunday that US statements about the mineral-rich Arctic island have been disrespectful and that Greenland “will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone”.
Mr Nielsen made the remarks in defiance of US President Donald Trump’s interest in taking control of the strategic territory as he stood side by side with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on the second day of a three-day official visit. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
