Trump stated that the US “needs” Greenland for international security, suggesting its strategic importance. Lund dismissed these remarks as “far-fetched” and warned that they represented a “hidden threat” against Denmark and its territories, including Greenland.

Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark since the 18th century, has rejected any suggestions of selling the island. A recent survey showed 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US.
