“Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Thursday that he represents a proud nation seeking to maintain global order, pushing back against the latest comments about the Arctic island by President Donald Trump,” the South China Morning Post reports.
Trump on Wednesday vented his frustration with NATO, noting that he still remembered the alliance’s position on Greenland, a “BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE.”
Said Nielsen: “We are not some piece of ice. We are a proud population of 57,000 people, working every single day as good global citizens in full respect for all our allies.”
