US EditionGreenland’s PM says terms of Trump deal unclear: ‘We have some red lines’
Greenland's prime minister insists sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable red lines amid ongoing talks on a U.S.-Denmark-Greenland Arctic security framework.
- On Jan. 22, 2026, Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a Nuuk press conference that he doesn't know what the 'framework' deal President Donald Trump announced includes and insisted `We have some red lines` involving Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.
- Following weeks of pressure over Greenland, President Donald Trump announced a 'framework' after a closed-door Davos meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, but the public announcement lacked details.
- Reports say the framework could cover U.S. mineral rights and the `Golden Dome` missile-defence system, while The New York Times reported NATO officials discussed U.S. sovereignty over bases, which Nielsen rejected.
- Nielsen said a high-level working group is now working on a solution for both parties, and the announcement apparently prompted President Donald Trump to cancel tariffs on eight European countries.
- Speaking for Greenlanders, Jens-Frederik Nielsen criticized the Trump administration's recent aggression and said Greenlanders feel threatened when media report attempts to 'take your freedom'.
