Sun Mar 30 19:10:14 UTC 2025: ## Greenland Rejects Trump’s Annexation Claims

**Nuuk, Greenland –** Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen issued a strong rebuke on Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions that the United States will take control of the island territory. In a Facebook post, Mr. Nielsen declared, “The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future.”

Mr. Trump’s comments, made to NBC News on Saturday, suggested that military force was not ruled out as a means of acquiring Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark. While he acknowledged the possibility of a non-military acquisition, he infamously stated “I don’t take anything off the table.” His disregard for the potential impact on international relations was evident when he responded with “I don’t care” to a question about the message this would send to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Greenland, a strategically important and resource-rich island in the Atlantic, has consistently rejected Mr. Trump’s proposals. The comments have been met with anger from Greenlandic residents and politicians, as well as pushback from Danish leaders. The incident further strains already tense international relations.
