The Greenland government has categorically rejected the United States' desire to 'take possession' of its territory. In a statement, the government said it does not accept this idea 'in any way' and will intensify its efforts to ensure that Greenland's defense remains part of NATO. Greenland is an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenland's announcement is a response to the recent re-examination of US interest in the region, due to its strategic importance. Greenland is located at a critical geographical point, near the Arctic Circle, and a potential US military presence in the area could have significant geopolitical implications. The Greenland government insists on the need to safeguard its sovereignty and protect its interests.
