Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated on December 22 that they expect respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, after US President Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to Greenland, DR News reported.
"We have said it very clearly before. Now we say it again," the leaders declared in a joint statement, adding "there can be no annexation of other countries. Not even with an argument for international security. Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland and the US will not occupy Greenland."
"We expect respect for our common territorial integrity," they added.
Frederiksen wrote on Instagram that the situation created by an ally of decades is difficult.
"But we will not deviate from our democratic values," she declared.
Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, wrote on Facebook that, while the appointment of a special envoy "may sound big", it "doesn't change anything for us in the country".
"We have our own democracy, our own decisions, and a strong community that stands firm. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders and territorial integrity must be respected," Nielsen wrote.
He added that any cooperation, including that with the US, must "happen with respect for us, our values and our desires."
Pia Olsen Dyhr, leader of the Socialist People's Party of Denmark, wrote on Facebook that Denmark and Greenland "must mobilize all forces" and activate alliances in North America and Europe.
"Trump's entrepreneurship must be made as difficult as possible for him," she wrote, adding, "all illusions about the Arctic as a low-tension zone and about old alliances must be put aside. Because this is as serious as it is regrettable."
