We choose Denmark over US, Greenland's PM says | BBC News

Greenland's prime minister has said his people would choose Denmark over the US if they were asked to make such a choice "here and now". Jens-Frederik Nielsen's remark at a joint news conference with Denmark's prime minister is the strongest by a representative of the semi-autonomous Danish territory since US President Donald Trump renewed his plan to annex it. Trump says the US needs to "own" Greenland to defend against Russia and China. The White House has suggested buying the island, but not ruled out the use of force to annex it.
