Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized that Greenland is not for sale, as President-elect Trump has ramped up calls for the U.S. to acquire the island.
Frederiksen's comments to a Danish TV station come as the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., paid a visit to Greenland on Tuesday. The trip is a personal one and Trump Jr. is not expected to meet with any government officials.
The Danish prime minister said in an interview that Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede "has been very, very clear – that there is a lot of support among the people of Greenland that Greenland is not for sale and will not be in the future either," according to The Hill.
She reportedly told Danish television station TV 2 that Greenland will choose its own future and said, "We need to stay calm and stick to our principles," while praising the U.S. as a key Danish ally.
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said he was "hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA'." The Republican attached a video that purportedly shows a Greenlander asking the U.S. to buy his country.
Trump's son arrived Tuesday in Nuuk, the Arctic territory's capital. He met with locals, visited cultural sites and shot video for a podcast. The president-elect posted a video showing a plane emblazoned with the word "TRUMP" landing in Nuuk.
"Don Jr. and my Reps landing in Greenland," Trump wrote. "The reception has been great. They, and the Free World, need safety, security, strength, and PEACE! This is a deal that must happen. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!"

Make them a deal they can’t refuse.
Power to the people!
Mind your own business Mette. This is between Trump and Greenland. It’s not for sale because Denmark won’t see a dime.
It’s not Denmark’s to sell
Just keep saying that, Mister Prime Minister.
I don’t think you’re the only Greenlander with an opinion about this.
Said Another Way?
“Resistance is futile!!” //
“Danish prime minister has blunt message for Trump: Greenland is not for sale”
Trump’s from NY City, people from there have ways of getting to an ‘agreement’.
The Dane fell right into Trump’s trap.
Mette Frederiksen just told the Greenlanders that Denmark owns them and their land, like chattel.
He needs to make it like when they insulted or told Don Vito or Michael no.
there are only 56,000 total people in ALL of Greenland. Simply offer to give them $100,000 for each man woman and child if they vote to join the US.
Price tag = 5.6 Billion
There was a time when 13 English colonies weren’t either
Now a Danish colony is ready to rebel …..
,,, maybe it’s up for lease - like Hong Kong was until 1997.
Well, that’s enough people to support my Baskin-Robbins franchise.
Denmark needs to grant ownership of Greenland to pay its NATO assessments.
well, ok, then, that settles that!
Considering that it took a decade for Denmark to build Greenland’s airport, and only relenting when Greenland was threatening secession, Denmark really isn’t in a position to say too much.
Everything is for sale, it’s just a matter of negotiation.
so perhaps Greenland gets independence, then enters some sort of alliance with the US? is that how this plays out?
Trump needs to focus on the hot steaming mess we have within the current 50 states. He’s getting too ‘cute’ with all this BS about buying Greenland, annexing Canada , etc. He needs to pare down our bloated government, get spending under control and stuff like that that he didn’t get done in his first term.
