Greenland's new PM says U.S. will not get Greenland

Good morning,

I'm Choi Chi-hee, and this is The World Now.

Greenland's new Prime Minister, sworn in on Friday, firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring the Arctic territory, emphasizing Greenland's autonomy and self-determination.

On Sunday local time, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen responded to President Trump's push to acquire Greenland.

In a social media post, Nielsen stated, "Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future."

President Trump on Friday once again expressed confidence in the U.S. acquiring Greenland, describing it as "100%" certain and citing national security interests.

Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance's recent visit to Greenland's U.S. military base further raised tensions as Vance criticized Denmark's administration of Greenland, implying that the U.S. could offer better security and governance.
