Denmark will not give up Greenland to the US, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said during an official visit to the Arctic Island.Responding to repeated threats from Donald Trump, Frederiksen offered closer collaboration on security but told the US president: "You can't annex other countries.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is in Greenland for a three-day trip aimed at building trust and cooperation with Greenlandic officials at a time when the Trump administration is seeking control of the vast Arctic territory.

In late March 2025, a video began to circulate supposedly showing the Danish parliament and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen laughing while listening to a recording of U.S. President Donald Trump talking about acquiring Greenland.

"The U.S. shall not take over Greenland. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said.

Denmark's prime minister pledged to support Greenland against U.S. President Donald Trump's expressions of interest in acquiring the Danish semi-autonomous territory as she landed in Nuuk on Wednesday for talks with its incoming government.

Denmark’s top diplomats stood up to US President Donald Trump over his encroachment on Greenland, effectively ending a policy of quiet diplomacy they had hoped would make the issue go away.

Denmark’s prime minister vowed she would not surrender Greenland to the US as she visited the autonomous Danish territory that Donald Trump wants to take over.

The United States will not take over Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said after arriving on Wednesday for a three-day visit to the semi-autonomous Danish island.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced plans for her visit after US Vice President JD Vance visited a US air base in Greenland last week and accused Denmark of underinvesting in the territory.

Donald Trump isn’t the first U.S. president to consider taking land from Denmark. What did the U.S. want last time and why?
