Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said Sunday that comments from U.S. officials about the Arctic island have been disrespectful and that the island cannot be purchased, in defiance of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly floated the idea of buying the strategic territory.
Nielsen said Greenland “will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone” as he stood by Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during a joint press conference at Frederiksen's Marienborg official residence in Lyngby, Denmark.
The Greenlandic prime minister was meeting with Frederiksen on the second day of a three-day official visit to Denmark. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
“The talks from the United States have not been respectful,” Nielsen said. “The words used have not been respectful. That’s why we need in this situation, we need to stand together.”
