Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement on Sunday that it makes „absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland.“

„The U.S. has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom,“ she said, adding: „I would therefore strongly urge the U.S. stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people, who have very clearly said that they are not for sale.“
