Danish PM affirms Greenland is not for sale but welcomes increased US security cooperation

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that Greenland is not for sale but is open to increased U.S. security cooperation. This comes amid U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threats regarding Greenland's control and his comments on Denmark's alliance. Frederiksen emphasized that security concerns in the Arctic can be addressed without selling the island. She acknowledged the importance of the region for defense and expressed a willingness to enhance U.S. military presence in Greenland. The U.S. operates the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, which is involved in missile defense and space operations. Frederiksen defended Denmark's role as a reliable ally, countering claims from U.S. officials about Denmark's commitment to the region's security.
