Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has publicly condemned the United States for its persistent efforts to assert influence over the Arctic territory, calling recent U.S. actions “condescending and divisive” in a fiery statement released on February 3, 2026. The remarks came ahead of an emergency parliamentary session in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital.
Nielsen highlighted that despite Washington backtracking on earlier suggestions of a military takeover, U.S. officials—including former President Donald Trump and current policymakers—continue to push for Greenland’s annexation. “This rhetoric undermines our sovereignty and the will of our people,” he stated, reaffirming Greenland’s status as part of the Kingdom of Denmark. 🇩🇰
While tensions simmer, Nielsen confirmed that high-level talks with U.S. representatives are underway. “We aim to turn dialogue into concrete outcomes,” he said, though details remain under wraps. The dispute has sparked global attention as climate change intensifies competition for Arctic resources. ❄️⚡
