Denmark won’t bend to Trump’s pressure over Greenland, prime minister says

US Vice President JD Vance on a visit to the island in March accused fellow NATO member Denmark of not doing a good job keeping Greenland safe and suggested the United States would better protect the territory.

Denmark will not yield to “unacceptable” pressure from the United States for control of semi-autonomous Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Thursday, warning Greenlanders’ right to self-determination was at stake.
