Greenland's prime minister says citizens 'don't feel safe' after Trump's threats
Jens-Frederik Nielsen said Trump’s repeated push to control the territory has made many Greenlanders feel unsafe and altered daily routines.
- Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told NBC News that many Greenlanders "don't feel safe" amid President Donald Trump's pressure to control the territory, with fear among residents "turning into anger."
- Since taking office, Trump has repeatedly pushed for U.S. control of Greenland, initially suggesting force before focusing on military expansion; last month Gen. Gregory Guillot, head of U.S. Northern Command, testified to the Senate that the U.S. military seeks expanded presence on the island.
- Residents altered daily lives by cancelling events and avoiding kindergartens; Nielsen said people feared leaving children there, while the government urged stockpiling supplies for five days. Greenlanders fear they "might be next" after the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas.
- Nielsen confirmed an ongoing high-level working group dialogue with the U.S. and Denmark but emphasized "there is no deal" beyond the 1951 defense pact, stressing Greenland "cannot give areas of our country away."
- Last week, Trump criticized NATO allies in a Truth Social post, referencing Greenland as "that big, poorly run, piece of ice"; his rhetoric has intensified U.S.-NATO tensions, with Nielsen questioning whether the alliance would defend Greenland against another member.
