The Greenland government stated that discussions with the United States were progressing, while firmly reaffirming that the island was "not for sale".
The American envoy Jeff Landry, appointed by Donald Trump to promote increased US control over Greenland, arrived in Nuuk on Sunday to meet with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Foreign Minister Mute Egede.
At the end of the meeting, Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated that his government was seeking a solution acceptable to all parties, while ruling out any possibility of annexation, takeover or purchase of the territory.
Mute Egede also emphasized Greenland's "red lines," stating that the Greenlandic people would remain owners of their territory "forever."
Donald Trump's repeated statements about possible US control of Greenland have reignited tensions between Washington and Denmark, of which Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory, as well as with several European NATO partners.
