Danish officials have stated that they reiterated their firm opposition to the sale of Greenland and emphasized the importance of respecting Greenland’s autonomy and the international legal framework.

Rasmussen and Motzfeldt have been meeting with U.S. lawmakers in Washington this week to seek assurances that the U.S. administration will not pursue the acquisition of Greenland and to reinforce the strong relationship between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland, particularly regarding security cooperation in the Arctic.

“We are ready for cooperation on security in the Arctic, but it must happen with respect for our territorial integrity, international law, and the UN Charter,” rasmussen stated recently. [Referenced Instagram post needs verification and date]
