Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump’s interest in purchasing Greenland, a territory of Denmark. During a recent press conference, Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is ‘not for sale,’ emphasizing Denmark’s commitment to the self-governance of Greenland. She stated, ‘I think it is important that we work together to maintain the autonomy and that we respect the wishes of the Greenlandic people.’ This statement comes after Trump sparked discussions about buying the territory in 2019, which was met with harsh criticism from Danish officials. The Prime Minister is now seeking support from the European Union and the United States to ensure Greenland’s autonomy and sustainability while strengthening ties between Denmark and Greenland. Frederiksen also mentioned efforts to bolster green investments in the region, aiming to create jobs and promote sustainable development. Furthermore, she highlighted the strategic importance of Greenland not just politically but also environmentally as climate change challenges arise in the Arctic. The relationship between Denmark and Greenland has been a topic of interest, as Frederiksen pushes for increased cooperation to address issues such as climate change, energy resources, and security.
