Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated that while a U.S. military intervention remains unlikely, it cannot be entirely dismissed. He emphasized the island's strategic importance and its position within the NATO alliance, warning that any escalation would have global consequences.

The remarks come amid a fast-escalating geopolitical dispute with the United States. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called Greenland essential to American and global security, refusing to rule out force. His administration views the Arctic territory as critical for national defense and resource access.

Nielsen stressed the need for preparedness, aligning Greenland's stance with Western allies. The situation highlights the growing tension between U.S. strategic interests and the autonomy of the self-governing territory. Markets will watch for any diplomatic shifts that could affect Arctic shipping and resource investments.
