Summary

Greenland's new Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, firmly stated that the United States will not take control of Greenland, countering President Trump's recent comments about annexing the territory. Nielsen emphasized Greenland's autonomy and the right to decide its own future.

President Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland, a stance that has historical roots due to the island's strategic importance and natural resources.
