Former US President Donald Trump claimed he was sending a US hospital boat to Greenland to provide medical care, alleging that many people there are sick and not being taken care of. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen rejected the offer, stating that Greenland provides free healthcare for all citizens. Nielsen urged Trump to communicate directly with Greenland instead of making announcements on social media. Trump's post included an image of the USNS Mercy and followed a recent medical evacuation of a US submarine crew member near Nuuk by Danish authorities. The announcement comes a month after Trump announced a "framework for a future deal" with Greenland, though details remain unclear.
