The Prime Minister of Greenland said on Tuesday that the autonomous territory would choose to remain part of Denmark rather than join the United States, following threats by US President Donald Trump to take control of the Arctic island.
“We are now facing a geopolitical crisis, and if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark right now, we choose Denmark,” Nielsen said during the joint press conference in Copenhagen with Frederiksen.
For her part, Frederiksen said it is not easy to withstand what she described as “completely unacceptable pressure from our closest ally.”
