Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has firmly rejected any notion of selling Greenland, following reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump was interested in acquiring the Arctic island. Speaking ahead of an informal EU meeting in Brussels, Frederiksen emphasized that Greenland remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark and is not on the market.
"Greenland is part of our territory, and it's not for sale," she stated, shutting down speculation after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Trump’s interest was serious. The idea, initially dismissed as a joke, gained traction after Trump indicated he might use economic or military influence to bring the autonomous Danish territory under U.S. control.
Greenland, the world’s largest island, holds strategic and economic significance due to its vast natural resources and geopolitical location in the Arctic. While the United States has long maintained military interests there, including its Thule Air Base, Denmark remains firm in its sovereignty over the region.
Trump’s proposal sparked controversy, with Danish officials and Greenlandic leaders dismissing the idea as absurd. Many see the move as reminiscent of historic land acquisitions, but Frederiksen made it clear that Greenland's future lies with Denmark and its self-governing people.
The rejection adds another point of contention to U.S.-Denmark relations, though both nations continue to cooperate on security and trade. Despite U.S. interest, Denmark’s stance remains unwavering—Greenland is not for sale.
