UK PM: "Only Greenland, Denmark should decide future of Greenland"

LONDON, Jan 5 (KUNA) -- UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Monday that only Greenland and Denmark should decide the future of Greenland.
"And Denmark is a close ally in Europe, is a NATO ally and it is very important that the future of Greenland is for the Kingdom of Denmark and for Greenland themselves and only for Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark," Starmer told the BBC.
The statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump again said, "we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security".
The US president and senior members of his administration have repeatedly raised the prospect of the semi-autonomous Danish territory becoming an annexed part of the United States. (end) mrn.mt
