Greenland's prime minister thanks countries in Europe for their support

(20 Jan 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Nuuk, Greenland - 20 January 2026 ++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++ 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland's Prime Minister: "I think it’s very, very important… right now we are talking about a situation about the world order. Respect for territorial integrity, respect for international law, that’s what should unite all of the Western countries with a well-going democracy and also the European Union. We have been so happy and glad and I stated today, we are thankful for the support from all our allies, all the countries of the European Union for stating and constantly saying ‘we need to respect the world order’. International law is not… it’s not a game. And if we don’t do that, of course alliances will fall and that will be very bad in the way the world is developing now. We have been a close and loyal ally to the United States, to NATO, through many, many years. We can do lots more in that framework, we are willing to cooperate much more but of course, in mutual respect. And if we cannot see that, it will be very difficult to have a good and reliable partnership.” 2. Nielsen leaving the news conference STORYLINE: Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said relations with the United States and NATO must be grounded in “mutual respect”, as he thanked his allies for their support in opposing U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans to take control Greenland. “We have been a close and loyal ally to the United States, to NATO, through many, many years. We can do lots more in that framework, we are willing to cooperate much more but of course, in mutual respect. And if we cannot see that, it will be very difficult to have a good and reliable partnership,” said Nielsen in a news conference on Tuesday. It comes after Trump announced a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight nations that have rallied over their opposition to U.S. control of Greenland. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland are on Trump's list. Those countries issued a forceful rebuke. Many longtime allies of the U.S. remained resolute that Greenland was not for sale but encouraged Washington to discuss solutions. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
