Greenland’s leader said that, if given the choice between the United States and Denmark, the Greenlanders would rather stick with the Danes.

The Trump administration is actively exploring ways to acquire Greenland, either through purchase or by force.

Denmark has pledged to station a radar system in eastern Greenland, as well as five new inspection ships to replace the ageing Thetis-class vessels, a Poseidon-type patrol aircraft and four long-range MQ-9B Sea Guardian air drones.
