Pedersen, Stine Jacobsen and Soren Jeppesen COPENHAGEN, Dec 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump reasserted on Monday that the United States needs Greenland for national security and said a newly appointed special envoy would "lead the charge",
Frederik Nielsen said he was both “sad and grateful” after President Donald Trump reiterated his intention to secure the self-governing Danish territory for the U.S. The prime minister added that “our decisions are made here” on the strategically important Arctic island.
Trump is calling for Greenland, a self-governing Danish island, to join the United States, citing its strategic significance and mineral wealth. The idea is openly supported by Landry, who became governor of Louisiana in January 2024.
Mette Frederiksen of Denmark and Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland have issued a joint statement to demand respect for their borders after America appointed a US envoy to Greenland.
