On Monday, Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen rejected renewed calls by U.S. President Donald Trump for a takeover of the Arctic territory. In a Facebook post, Nielsen urged “no more pressure, no more insinuations and no more fantasies of annexation,” while stating he was open to dialogue and discussions, provided they occur through proper channels and with respect for international law. The remarks came after Trump reiterated his claim that Greenland should become part of the United States, sparking strong rejection from the Danish government.
