What did the prime minister say?

Frederiksen said that NATO has been a reliable friend to the United States, and we should not let ourselves be divided as allies. The prime minister said she would do everything to keep that from happening, noting that she wants that friendship with the U.S. to continue.

She emphasized, “You cannot annex another country, not even with an argument about international security.”

Security on Greenland

Frederiksen went on to say that Denmark is now strengthening security around Greenland with new ships in the Arctic, long-range drones and satellite upgrades.

She maintains that Denmark is upholding its commitments and urged the U.S. to help strengthen security together in Greenland.

Recent politics in Greenland

Political parties in Greenland recently formed a broad-based coalition government to resist U.S. pressure to take over the self-governing island of less than 60,000 people.
