US President Donald Trump considers Greenlanders' reluctance to join the United States “their problem“.
He made the statement, broadcast by C-SPAN, while talking to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington.
Earlier, Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said that Greenland does not want to be part of the United States and that the island chooses Denmark.
Journalists asked the Republican to comment on these remarks.
“Well, that's their problem. That's their problem. I don't agree with him. I don't know who he is. I don't know anything about him, but this will be a big problem for him," he said.
