Danish leader says kingdom can’t negotiate sovereignty after Trump’s Greenland about-turn
Denmark rejects sovereignty negotiations over Greenland after US President Trump and NATO discuss Arctic security cooperation to counter Russian and Chinese influence.
- On Jan 22, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged Denmark and Greenland to pursue constructive Arctic security talks respecting territorial integrity, emphasizing NATO’s involvement.
- Rising U.S. interest and past deployments explain the sensitivity as U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly stepped back on Jan 21 from tariff threats while the United States military scaled back from Greenland.
- Records show the U.S. keeps a permanent presence at Pituffik airbase under a 1951 agreement, while Greenland has autonomy but foreign affairs and defence remain Danish unless agreed.
- Frederiksen insisted only Denmark and Greenland can strike agreements, rejecting external deals without consent, while Aaja Chemnitz said nothing can be decided without Greenland’s participation and NATO has no mandate to negotiate without Greenland.
- Recent U.S. proposals and comments indicate ongoing pressure on Greenland’s status, with the Pituffik airbase’s 1951 U.S.-Denmark agreement framing future military access decisions.
