We stand by Greenlanders. Greenland belongs her inhabitants. That must be said, simply, openly, loudly.
We strongly believe in Greenland evident right to self-government, within the Atlantic security community. Greenland's self-government is necessary to protect her native culture and enviromental treasure - which is a heritage of entire humanity.
USA have already wide access to security control and mineral exploration. Further demands will only lead to troubles, and eventually a loss of life, liberty and prosperity.
Here an important statement from Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland's prime minister:
“
We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.
Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.
When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.
Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.
We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.
But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.
Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.
No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.
We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.
Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so.
