Summary
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit party, rejected Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. will annex the island.
Nielsen, whose party won a surprise election victory, emphasized Greenland’s right to self-determination, saying, “We want to be Greenlanders.”
Outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede also condemned Trump’s remarks, urging a united political rejection. Trump reiterated his desire for U.S. control, citing national security.
However, Greenland’s election focused on healthcare, education, and economic growth, with Demokraatit advocating for delayed independence until financial stability is achieved.
