Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has stated that Denmark's sovereignty is non-negotiable, despite President Donald Trump announcing a 'framework' for a deal on Greenland. Frederiksen emphasized that Denmark is open to discussions with allies on security and economic issues, but will not compromise on its territorial integrity. Trump had announced the framework following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, claiming it would be a 'great' deal for the US and NATO nations. He also indicated that he would not use force to seize Greenland, saying 'I won't use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.' Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen welcomed Trump's statement, calling for discussions on addressing American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting Denmark's 'red lines.'
