Copenhagen: The Greenland Prime Minister emphatically declared, "We will not sell or annex to the United States," reiterating the choice to remain with Denmark. Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen that Greenland is not for sale and does not want to become part of the United States. Greenland remains more interested in being part of Denmark than becoming US territory, amid President Donald Trump's efforts to control the Arctic islands. This comes as the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland are scheduled to meet with US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday, following Trump's escalation of threats to seize Greenland, an autonomous territory under the Kingdom of Denmark.

According to Thai News Agency, although Denmark has ruled Greenland for centuries, the territory has gradually moved toward independence since 1979, a goal shared by all political parties elected to the Greenlandic parliament. However, it remains unclear whether the Greenlandic Prime Minister's statement on Tuesday signals a permanent policy shift.

While Trump has consistently stated that Greenland is critically important to U.S. security and that the U.S. needs to own the territory to prevent Russia or China from seizing the strategically located and resource-rich area in the future.

However, White House officials have discussed various plans to bring Greenland under U.S. control, including the possibility of using the U.S. military and paying Greenlandics lump sums to persuade them to secede from Denmark.
