Denmark Stands Firm Against U.S. Pressure on Greenland
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen firmly rejected recent U.S. Pressure for control of Greenland during her June 6 National Day speech.
- The tensions arose after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed acquiring the strategically located, minerals-rich Arctic island for security reasons.
- U.S. Vice President JD Vance visited Greenland in March, criticized Denmark’s protection efforts, and suggested U.S. Oversight would better secure the territory.
- Frederiksen emphasized that key aspects of the partnership across the Atlantic, including a nation’s authority over its territory, border integrity, and the populace’s entitlement to decide their own future, are currently threatened.
- Denmark and Greenland insist that only Greenlanders can decide their future, and Frederiksen’s speech highlighted challenges to established world order and growing tensions with the U.S.
