Greenland's new prime minister, Jens Frederik Nielsen, vowed on Sunday that Washington will not gain control over the island.

This comes after US President Donald Trump reiterated on Saturday night that he was 100 percent confident in the success of his initiative to annex Greenland.

"President Trump says that the United States is getting Greenland. Let me be clear: The United States won't get that. We do not belong to anyone else. We determine our own future," Nielsen wrote on his social media.

The people of Greenland should not be afraid of Trump's remarks but treat them with calm and dignity, he added. 

Yesterday, during an interview with NBC News, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to acquiring Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory. When asked about the possibility of annexing it, Trump responded unequivocally, “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%."

While he expressed optimism that Greenland could be acquired "without military force," he made it clear that “I don’t take anything off the table.”

His comments came a day after Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, visited Pituffik Space Base, a US military installation on Greenland’s northwestern coast. Speaking at the base, Vance criticized Denmark’s governance of Greenland, stating, “Our message to Denmark is very simple — you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland.”

When asked what message the US acquisition of Greenland would send to Russia and the international community, Trump dismissed any broader geopolitical concerns.

“I don’t really think about that. I don’t really care. Greenland’s a very separate subject, very different. It’s international peace. It’s international security and strength,” he said.

“You have ships sailing outside Greenland from Russia, from China and from many other places. And we’re not going to allow things to happen that are going to be — that are going to hurt the world or the United States,” he added.
