We need it for defence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, the United States bombed Venezuela and toppled President Nicolas Maduro, raising concerns in Denmark that the same could happen with Greenland, a Danish territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would therefore strongly urge the US to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale,\u201d Frederiksen said.<\/p>\n<p>The Greenlandic prime minister\u2019s office did not \u200bimmediately comment on Trump\u2019s latest remarks.<\/p>\n<p>The US president has repeatedly called for Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory and NATO member, to become part of the US.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the Trump administration named Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who publicly supports annexation, as special envoy to the mineral-rich Arctic Island.<\/p>\n<p>Greenland\u2019s strategic position between Europe and \u2060North America makes it a key site for the US ballistic missile defence system, and its mineral wealth is attractive, as the US hopes to reduce its reliance on Chinese exports.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Miller, the wife of Trump\u2019s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, posted on Saturday the contentious image of the Danish autonomous territory in the colours of the US flag on her X feed.<\/p>\n<p>Her post had a single word above it: \u201cSOON\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Miller is widely seen as the architect of much of Trump\u2019s policies, guiding the president on his hardline immigration and domestic agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Greenland\u2019s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, called the post \u201cdisrespectful\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelations between nations and peoples are built on mutual respect and international law \u2013 not on symbolic gestures that disregard our status and our rights,\u201d he said on X.<\/p>\n<p>But he also said that \u201cthere is neither reason for panic nor for concern. Our country is not for sale, and our future is not decided by social media posts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Denmark\u2019s ambassador to the US, Jesper Moeller Soerensen, reacted to the post on Sunday by saying, \u201cWe expect full respect for the territorial integrity\u201d of Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>Soerensen gave a pointed \u201cfriendly reminder\u201d that his country has \u201csignificantly boosted its Arctic security efforts\u201d and had worked with the US on that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are close allies, and should continue to work together as such,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US president\u2019s latest threat comes a day after Washington bombed Venezuela and abducted its president.
