The United States will

not get Greenland, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on

Sunday in a post on Facebook in response to Donald Trump's

statements he wants to take control of the vast Arctic country.



"President Trump says that the United States is getting

Greenland. Let me be clear: The United States won't get that. We

do not belong to anyone else. We determine our own future,"

Nielsen said in the social media post.



Trump on Saturday



told



NBC News he "absolutely" had real conversations about

annexing the semi-autonomous Danish territory.



"We'll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%," Trump said, according

to NBC.



During a visit to a U.S. military base in the north of

Greenland on Friday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance



accused



Denmark of not doing a good job of keeping the island safe

and suggested the United States would better protect the

strategically located island.
