US EditionGreenland’s PM says terms of Trump deal unclear: ‘We have some red lines’
Greenland's prime minister insists sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable red lines amid ongoing talks on a U.S.-Denmark-Greenland Arctic security framework.
- On Jan. 22, 2026, Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a Nuuk press conference that he doesn't know what the 'framework' deal President Donald Trump announced includes and insisted `We have some red lines` involving Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.
- Following weeks of pressure over Greenland, President Donald Trump announced a 'framework' after a closed-door Davos meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, but the public announcement lacked details.
- Reports say the framework could cover U.S. mineral rights and the `Golden Dome` missile-defence system, while The New York Times reported NATO officials discussed U.S. sovereignty over bases, which Nielsen rejected.
- Nielsen said a high-level working group is now working on a solution for both parties, and the announcement apparently prompted President Donald Trump to cancel tariffs on eight European countries.
- Speaking for Greenlanders, Jens-Frederik Nielsen criticized the Trump administration's recent aggression and said Greenlanders feel threatened when media report attempts to 'take your freedom'.

BERLIN — Discussions to resolve the future of Greenland have focused in recent days on proposals to increase NATO’s presence in the Arctic, give America a sovereign claim to pockets of Greenland’s territory and block potentially hostile adversaries from mining the island’s minerals.
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has said he is not aware of the details of the agreement between US President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding his island. He stressed that he was not involved in those discussions and does not know what is concrete in the agreement. "We have a high-level working group that will sort out the open issues.
