The government of Greenland called President Donald Trump's comments about taking control of the country "unacceptable" in a statement Friday.
Officials noted the statement was prompted by Trump's meeting with the NATO secretary general Thursday, when he reportedly "reiterated his desire for annexation and control of Greenland."
In response, the leaders of all political parties elected to Inatsisartut, the Parliament of Greenland that includes the Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut and Atassut parties, issued the statement on.
"We — all the party leaders — cannot accept the repeated statements regarding annexation and control of Greenland," leaders wrote. "We find this behavior toward friends and allies in a defense alliance unacceptable."
They added they "must underscore that Greenland will continue serving ITS people through diplomatic relations, in accordance with international law."
The document was signed by Greenlandic politicians Jens Frederik Nielsen of the Demokraatit party, Pele Broberg of the Naleraq, Múte B. Egede of the Inuit Ataqatigiit, Vivian Motzfeldt of the Siumut and Aqqalu C. Jerimiassen of the Atassut.
"We all support this wholeheartedly and strongly distance ourselves from attempts to create discord. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people, and we (as leaders) stand in unison," they wrote.

They want to be courted and maintain independence, it is not a rebuke as much as negotiating for something like a mutual alignment where they stay independent.
This is the dignified back-and-forth that people respect. Not like Trudeau and Ford running around like their hair is on fire, and then folding.
Exactly. They are in “negotiations” with Trump. Expect an announcement soon for a “big beautiful deal” soon.
President Trump is just giving them a kick to send a message to China. That bought and paid for dementia carcass was rolling over for them on command at every turn.
Handlers Obama and Klaus Schwab were happy to comply with any moves that diminished a free and sovereign America.
Would be great place to port Coasties and oh idk an ice breaker or 10.
Translates to “Show me the money”.
Up front they are saying that they are self determined and wish to be so.
If they are smart. They’d send a back channel letter sayin just thst but, we are open for business.
Greenlanders must have read
Art of the Deal and want Trump to sweeten the pot.
First move in a negotioation.
We’ll see how it works out.
Trump has not even made an offer yet. Every one and everything has a price.
That guy doesn’t speak for the people of Greenland. He is well to do, the citizens are not. Trump is going to guarantee them a generous share of the wealth from the natural resources which are rare earth minerals and
elements.
No means yes and yes means anal
I don't either. This is just public posturing. The real negotiating will not be done in public.
Maybe Greenland wants to become a white homeland like Tucker Carlson opined about creating one. If so, they wouldn’t want to be a part of a multicultural society like the U.S. or E.U. I don’t know why they should want to join either.
(((YAWN))) Just another farticle to make the Fascist DemonRATS happy.
Yup.
Maybe a walrus’s head in the bed.
Maybe a walrus head in the bed perfect. Negotiation start at unacceptable. To go along with that walrus head maybe Trump should offer each family a snowmobile and the rifle.
