Donald Trump was informed by a journalist, during a press conference with reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday (13), that Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, wants the island to remain with Denmark.
“Who said that?” the Republican asked, to which the reporter replied: “The prime minister of Greenland.”
“Well, that’s their problem. I disagree with him. I don’t know who he is, I know nothing about him, but this is going to be a big problem for him,” Donald Trump warned.

During a press conference in Copenhagen, where he appeared alongside Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, Nielsen said: “If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark.”
“We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the European Union,” he added, according to Danish public broadcaster DR, cited by CNBC.
Donald Trump has been vocal about his desire to annex Greenland to the United States. Currently, the island is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a U.S. ally in NATO.
On his Truth Social profile, the U.S. president returned to the topic, saying that taking control of the territory was “vital” for NATO to remain an “effective” force.
“If we don’t do it, Russia or China will, and that won’t happen!” Donald Trump continued.
