‘We are not some piece of ice. We are a proud population of 57,000 people, working every single day as good global citizens in full respect for all our allies.’
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called on NATO allies to stand together to defend international law as he pushed back against US President Donald Trump's latest comments about the Arctic island.
Trump vented his frustration with NATO's unwillingness to get involved in the war on Iran that he launched with Israel, saying in a social media post that the military alliance was not around when needed and would not be there "if we need them again. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE".
NATO allies had already been scrambling earlier this year to find ways to keep the alliance together after Trump revived his push to seize Greenland from Denmark, a fellow NATO member.
