Greenlanders do not want to be American: Leader

Jan 14, 2026

Copenhagen [Denmark], January 14: Greenland's prime minister made it crystal clear on Tuesday that his people in no way want to become part of the United States under any circumstances.
"If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark, then we choose Denmark," Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen.
Frederiksen stressed that it had not been easy to withstand the "completely unacceptable pressure from our closest allies." You cannot move borders by force and you cannot buy a population, she said.
"The hardest part is still ahead of us," she warned.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen is due to meet US Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday to discuss US claims to the autonomously governed island, which belongs to Denmark.
Greenland's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, is also expected to attend the meeting.
