Summary
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, during his first visit to Denmark since taking office in March, rejected Donald Trump’s push to annex Greenland, stating the island “will never be a piece of property that can be bought.”
Standing alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, he added, “We are in a foreign policy situation which means we have to move closer together.”
Frederiksen said Denmark was ready to invest more in Greenland as part of a “modernisation” of the two countries relationship.
I think there have been more than enough hints to the Trump nazi regime that they are not welcome in Greenland
I don’t think Trump wants a warm welcome. He wants Greenland. I’m sure he will gladly acquire it without people.

He doesn’t want Greenland, nor does he want Canada. He wants a smokescreen to distract everybody from whatever bad shit he’s doing on any given day. And it’s working.
It’s not a smoke screen, he wants the stuff under the ice.
I think he wants it for a few different reasons.
- Peter Thiel wants it
- Strategic base for when he pulls out of Nato
- Resources

(He wants it because he thinks it’s a lot bigger than it is.)
That may be true but for those literally being threatened with war it would be stupid not to act on the threats anyway. And your speculation that it’s a smoke screen sounds really dismissive the countries that now have to accept that the US might be or become the greatest security threat in decades.
…the US might be or become the greatest security threat in decades.
I am dismissive of the idea that the US wants to “buy” Greenland or annex Canada as the 51st state, but I do not dismiss the global threat the US has become (e.g. Ukraine and Gaza come to mind) to the rest of the world.
Dead cat strategy. The greatest, in the history of all dead cats
Exactly the noise is a feature not a bug
Good for Jens. It shouldn’t be.
