Dear Members of Congress and the Senate, I was born and raised in Greenland, and I live in Greenland 🇬🇱 I have traveled widely along the coast, sailing on the coastal ferry from South Greenland all the way to North Greenland, and I also fly frequently on domestic routes. I have visited nearly every town in the country, with only Qaanaaq, Uummannaq, and Ittoqqortoormiit remaining. I have never—not once—seen a Russian or Chinese destroyer in Greenlandic waters. Nor have I ever heard of any Greenlander who has. It is entirely normal for Greenlanders to travel between towns in their own boats during the summer months to visit family and friends. I have never heard of any of my fellow countrymen encountering Russian or Chinese destroyers in our waters. Your President is lying. You have the power to stop his plans. Remember: you took an oath to the Constitution, not to President Trump. Respectfully,

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱 January 9, 2026 8:30pm local time. We Stand Together as a People As leaders of Greenland’s political parties, we once again wish to underline our firm position that the United States’ disregard for our country must come to an end. We do not wish to be Americans. We do not wish to be Danes. We wish to be Greenlanders. Greenland is a country governed in accordance with the Self-Government Act and international law. The Government of Greenland and the Inatsisartut are elected by the people of Greenland, and through this mandate they cooperate with the United States and other Western countries—a cooperation that will continue in the future. The future of Greenland must be decided by the Greenlandic people. Work concerning Greenland’s future is conducted in dialogue with the population and prepared on the basis of international law and the Self-Government Act. No other country has the right to interfere in this process. We will decide our country’s future ourselves—without pressure to make hasty decisions, without delays imposed from outside, and without external interference. In recent years, we have strengthened our international responsibility and engagement. This has been carried out through official diplomatic channels and in accordance with international principles based on mutual respect, and this approach will continue. We once again call for dialogue to be conducted on the basis of diplomacy and international principles. This is the appropriate path forward for allies and friends. We therefore agree on the following: That intensified and close dialogue with our allies and cooperation partners must be ensured. That a meeting of the Inatsisartut be brought forward in order to secure a responsible, orderly, and united political debate. That, in these extraordinary and serious circumstances, the rights and interests of the Greenlandic people are safeguarded. That we will continue working to develop opportunities that ensure security and well-being for our people throughout the entire country. We stand together in our right to our country, now and for all time. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people. Jens Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit Pele Broberg, Naleraq Múte B.
