Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen, said on Sunday that the United States will not seize Greenland, responding to US President Donald Trump's desire to control the vast Arctic territory.
"President Trump says the US will take over Greenland. Let me be clear: The US will not get its way. We don't belong to anyone else. We determine our own future," he added in a Facebook post.
Trump told NBC News on Saturday that he had "serious discussions" about annexing the semi-autonomous Danish territory. "We will take over Greenland. Yes, 100%," he added.
During a visit to a US military base in northern Greenland on Friday, US Vice President J.D. Vance accused Denmark of failing to secure the strategically located island and indicated that the United States would better protect it.
