NATO Summit: Finland and Nordic Allies Reject Trump’s Greenland Remarks as EU Backs Denmark’s Sovereignty and Greenland’s Autonomy

Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen (NCP) and President Alexander Stubb have firmly dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s statements about Greenland, reaffirming Finland’s support for Denmark’s territorial integrity and Greenland’s right to self-determination. The remarks came during the NATO summit in Washington, where Trump suggested the United States should control Greenland, arguing that Denmark does not manage the territory effectively. Yle reports that Trump reiterated this stance in Ankara, telling reporters that Greenland is "very important to the United States, but not to Denmark" (Yle). Daily Finland reports that Trump, ahead of a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stated that Greenland "should be controlled by the U.S., not Denmark" (Daily Finland).
