Why is that important?
Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, was at the centre of global attention after Donald Trump expressed an interest in taking control of it. He spoke about it in a Saturday interview with NBC News, where did not exclude the taking over of Greenland by force. — We'll have Greenland. Yes. 100%," he said.
What did the Prime Minister of Greenland say?
Jens-Frederik Nielsen explicitly rejected the anticipation of taking over the island by the US in his Facebook entry. "President Trump says the United States will “get Greenland”. Let me be clear: the United States cannot do this. We can't be property. We will form our future ourselves," Nielsen wrote.

Donald Trump claims that taking over Greenland is crucial for global security. His interest in the island is not new, as he expressed his desire to increase the influence of the US in the region already during his first word of office.
