JAKARTA - Greenland Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen confirmed that the United States would not be able to control the Danish autonomous region.
He said this was to respond to US President Donald Trump's statement on Saturday night (29/3) who believes 100 percent that his efforts to annex Greenland will succeed.
"President Trump said the United States will get Greenland. I emphasize: The United States will not succeed," Nielsen said on his social media account on Sunday (30/3).
"We don't have anyone. We are the ones who determine our own future," said the new Greenland PM.
He asked the people of Greenland not to worry about Trump's speech and attitude, which should be responded calmly and respectfully.

Trump continues to express his views on the importance of the US taking control of the region since last December.
However, Trump's view was not supported by most political parties in Greenland and the majority of the island's citizens.
Until 1953, Greenland was a Danish colony. In 2009, the area received autonomy status so that it could run its own government and had full authority over domestic policies.
