New Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen talked about on Sunday that United States remarks pertaining to the mineral-rich Arctic island had truly been impolite, stressing that Greenland “will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone.”
His remarks adopted a convention with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at her palace on Sunday, on the 2nd day of a three-day major go to.
Nielsen’s feedback remained in motion to United States President Donald Trump’s duplicated state ardour in taking management of the mineral-rich Arctic island.
During journalism assembly, Nielsen claimed “the talk from the United States have not been respectful.”
He continued, “the words used have not been respectful. That’s why we need in this situation, we need to stand together.”
Greenlandic political events, which have been advocating for eventual independence from Denmark for years, not too long ago shaped a broad-based coalition authorities in response to Trump’s ambitions concerning the territory.
The Greenlandic authorities said that Nielsen’s three-day go to, which started on Saturday, was aimed toward fostering future cooperation between the 2 nations.
“Denmark has the will to invest in Greenlandic society, and we don’t just have that for historical reasons. We also have that because we are part of (the Danish) commonwealth with each other,” stated Frederiksen.
“We of course have a will to also continue investing in Greenlandic society,” she continued.
Nielsen is scheduled to satisfy King Frederik X on Monday, earlier than returning to Greenland with Frederiksen for a royal go to to the island.
When requested whether or not a gathering between them and Trump was within the works, Frederiksen responded, “We constantly wish to consult with the American head of state. Of training course we wish to. But I believe we have actually been really, really clear in what is the (Danish republic’s) method to all components of the Kingdom of Denmark.”
Greenland is an unbiased space of Denmark.
