‘Greenland will not be part of the USA,’ territory’s PM asserts

In January 2026, Greenland's Prime Minister asserted that Greenland would not become part of the United States, preferring ties with Europe. This statement comes amid threats from the United States, specifically from former President Donald Trump, to take over the autonomous Danish territory. The Prime Minister of Greenland and his Danish counterpart are scheduled to meet with the US Vice President and Secretary of State on Wednesday. The meeting is likely to address the future of Greenland and its relationship with both the United States and Europe. The location of the meeting was not specified in the article.
