Greenland's Prime Minister says we choose Denmark over the US

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said that in a dire situation Greenland would choose Denmark over the US. "We choose NATO, we choose the Kingdom of Denmark," he said firmly during a press conference in Copenhagen.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen has previously said that Greenlanders neither want to be Danes nor Americans, but Greenlanders.

He reiterates that position.

Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is part of the Kingdom (of Denmark). The situation is very, very serious, he says.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also reiterates that Greenland is not for sale and that Denmark is seeking dialogue with the United States.

We are not looking for conflict, she says, adding that the situation is bigger than the issue of Greenland.

This is about the inability to buy power, about smaller countries being afraid. We are not just standing up for ourselves but for the world order we have built.

She also warns against taking the issue lightly.

Everything indicates that the hardest part lies ahead.
