Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated on Thursday that he is unaware of the details of a "framework" agreement concerning Greenland, which was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump after a meeting with NATO's chief. Nielsen emphasized that Greenland and Denmark alone hold the authority to make deals regarding the territory. He stressed the importance of respecting Greenland's territorial integrity, international law, and sovereignty. While Nielsen welcomed Trump's statement ruling out the use of force, the specifics of the agreement, reportedly reached at the World Economic Forum in Davos, remain unclear. Nielsen reiterated that no agreement can be made without Greenland's involvement.
