Greenland is home to just over 56,000 residents.

When US forces struck the Venezuelan capital and ousted the country’s president Nicolás Maduro, it turned one of President Donald Trump’s rhetorical threats into reality.
In the days since, his frequent musings about other items on his foreign policy wishlist have rung with renewed force, especially his repeated desire for the US to take over Greenland – the vast autonomous Arctic territory ruled by Denmark.
In the wake of such a brazen display of US military power in Venezuela, this rhetoric has taken on a different character, straining Washington’s relationship with its NATO ally.

“It is not merely incorrect for the President of the United States to associate Greenland with Venezuela and military actions; it is also disrespectful,” he expressed in a formal statement.

“We must put an end to these annexation fantasies,” Nielsen stated. “We welcome open dialogue and discussions, provided they adhere to the appropriate diplomatic channels and respect international law. Greenland is our homeland and territory, and it shall remain so.”

Kuno Fencker, a parliamentarian from the Naleraq party, which has a more favorable view of the US, mentioned that some of Trump’s remarks have been “positively received.”

“When the President talks about Greenland’s right to self-determination or suggests they could become part of the United States, it is a significant proposition,” Fencker conveyed to CNN.

“However, if the media implies he is talking about forcibly annexing Greenland, that interpretation has not been well-received,” he added.
