'Greenland Is Not Venezuela': PM Pushes Back At Trump's Takeover Talk

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has firmly rejected renewed remarks by US President Donald Trump suggesting a possible US takeover of the autonomous Danish territory. Stressing that “Greenland is not Venezuela,” the prime minister said the island is a democratic, self-governing region and dismissed any talk of military action as unrealistic. Calling for stability, Nielsen said Greenland seeks calm dialogue, strong cooperation and a return to its long-standing positive relationship with the United States. Trump, however, has reiterated that the US “needs Greenland” for national security, citing concerns over growing Russian and Chinese presence in the Arctic. Greenland’s strategic location in the Arctic, its proximity to North America, and access to rare earth minerals have made it central to Washington’s security calculations. The comments underline rising geopolitical tensions in the Arctic even as Greenland and Denmark push back against any suggestion of annexation. #TrumpGreenland #Venezuela #NicolasMaduro #DonaldTrumpNews #NDTVWorld
