Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is in Greenland for a three-day trip aimed at building trust and cooperation with Greenlandic officials at a time when the Trump administration is seeking control of the vast Arctic territory.

Denmark's prime minister said on Thursday that Copenhagen would not give up Greenland, as she visited the resource-rich autonomous Danish region that US President Donald Trump has vowed to take over.

OSLO -- Accusing the United States of subjecting Denmark and Greenland to "pressure and threats," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Thursday firmly rejected US attempt to annex the Greenland, citing international law.

"We are open to criticism. But... we do not appreciate the tone in which it's being delivered," said Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen arrived in Greenland on Wednesday, five days after US Vice President JD Vance's visit. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants the large Arctic Island to become part of the world's biggest economy.

Denmark's foreign minister posted a video scolding the Trump administration hours after Vice President JD Vance's visit to Greenland.

Denmark will not hand Greenland to the United States, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on a trip to the Arctic island.

During a visit to Greenland, Mette Frederiksen dismisses the Trump administration's desire to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
