DANISH Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Sunday that the United States has no right to annex Greenland, urging Washington to stop making threats against a close ally and the Greenlandic people. “I have to say it very directly to the United States,” Frederiksen said in a statement.
She rejected the idea that it would be necessary for the United States to take over Greenland, stressing that “the United States has no right to annex” any of the three parts of the Danish Realm — Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Frederiksen underlined that the Kingdom of Denmark including Greenland is part of NATO and therefore covered by the alliance’s security guarantee. She added that a defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States already gives Washington broad access to Greenland.
The prime minister called on the United States to stop threats directed at “a historically close ally” as well as “another country and another people” who, she noted, have made it clear they are not for sale.
