Greenland's new prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has reaffirmed the island's aim for independence from Denmark. While strengthening its relationship with Denmark, Greenland seeks a respectful partnership with the U.S. amidst American interests. The island remains determined to become sovereign while maintaining strategic international relationships.

In a significant political development, incoming Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has stated Greenland's intention to fortify its ties with Denmark until the Arctic island can achieve full sovereignty.

Nielsen, who recently assumed office leading a four-party coalition, emphasized the importance of Denmark-Greenland relations amidst U.S. interests in the region voiced by President Donald Trump.

Nielsen reiterated Greenland's commitment to a respectful partnership with the United States regarding trade and national security, while affirming that Greenland will never be absorbed by America nor remain under Danish control permanently.
