I would like to take this opportunity to send a message directly to the United States of America 🇺🇸
The US is a big country. Denmark is a small one.
We have looked up to you.
And you have inspired us.
Because – since the Second World War – you have defended the free world. Created prosperity and progress. Peace and freedom.
And we have tried to give back to you. By always supporting you. And by showing up every time you called.
In us, you have a friend that has always kept our word. A friend you have always been able to rely on.
There is nothing I want more than for our friendship to continue. Because, if we let ourselves be divided as allies. Then we do our foes a favour.
I will do everything that I can to prevent that from happening.
Therefore; When you ask our businesses to invest in the US. They do.
When you ask us to spend more on our defense. We do.
And when you ask of us to strengthen security in the Arctic. We are on the same page.
But when you demand to take over a part of the Kingdom of Denmark’s territory.
When we are met by pressure and by threats from our closest ally.
What are we to believe about the country that we have admired for so many years?
The country that, if any, has stood up for others freedom?
You know us!
You know what we stand for.
You know we don’t give in.
And that is why I have to say very clearly:
National borders. Sovereignty of states. Territorial integrity.
These are all principles rooted in international law. These are fundamental principles.
Formed after the Second World War. So that small countries don’t have to fear big ones.
And so, this is not only about Greenland or Denmark.
This is about the world order that we have built together – across the Atlantic– over generations.
You cannot annex another country. Not even with an argument about international security.
On security. Then there is a lot that we – and you – can do.
Denmark is now strengthening our own presence. More surveillance. New Arctic ships. Long-range drones. And satellite capacity.
We uphold our commitments. And more is on the way.
It has always been a common task to safeguard security in the Arctic.
Greenland is a part of NATO. And for 75 years we have had a defense agreement with you that gives you very wide access to Greenland.
If you would like to be more present in Greenland.
Greenland and Denmark is ready.
And if you would like to strengthen the security in the Arctic. Just like us. Then let us do so together.
Let’s just do it.

USA er et stort land. Danmark er et lille land.
Vi har set op til jer. I har inspireret os.
Fordi I lige siden 2. verdenskrig har stået vagt om den frie verden. Skabt velstand og fremgang. Fred og frihed.
Det har vi forsøgt at gengælde ved altid at bakke jer op. Og ved at møde frem, når I har kaldt.
Med os har I en ven, som altid har holdt ord. En ven, I altid har kunnet stole på.
Der er intet, jeg ønsker mig mere, end at vores venskab kan fortsætte.
For hvis vi lader os splitte som allierede, så går vi vores fjenders ærinde. Jeg vil gøre, hvad jeg kan for, at det ikke sker.
Når I beder om, at vores virksomheder investerer hos jer. Så gør de det.
Når I beder om, at vi bruger flere penge på vores forsvar. Så gør vi det.
Og når I beder om, at vi styrker sikkerheden i Arktis. Så sparker I en åben dør ind.
Men når I kræver at overtage en del af Kongerigets territorium. Når vi udsættes for pres og for trusler af vores nærmeste allierede.
Hvad skal vi så tro om det land, vi i så mange år har beundret?
Det land, der om nogen har stået op for vores andres frihed?
I kender os!
I ved, hvad vi står for.
I ved, vi ikke giver op.
Derfor er jeg nødt til at sige det klart:
Landegrænser. Staternes suverænitet. Territoriers integritet. Det er rodfæstet i international ret. Det er fundamentale principper.
Skabt ovenpå 2. verdenskrig, så små lande ikke skal frygte store lande.
Derfor handler det her ikke kun om Grønland eller om Danmark.
Det handler om den verdensorden, vi sammen har opbygget gennem generationer.
Man kan ikke annektere andre lande. Heller ikke med et argument om international sikkerhed.
Om sikkerhed. Der er meget, som vi og I kan gøre. Fra dansk side styrker vi nu vores egen tilstedeværelse.
Mere overvågning. Nye arktiske skibe. Langtrækkende droner. Og satellitkapacitet.
Vi vedstår os vores forpligtelser. Og mere er på vej.
Det har altid været en fælles opgave at stå vagt om sikkerheden i Arktis.
Grønland er en del af NATO. Og vi har i snart 75 år haft en forsvarsaftale med jer, som giver jer meget vid adgang til Grønland.
Hvis I gerne vil være mere tilstede i Grønland, så er Grønland og Danmark klar.
Og hvis I gerne vil styrke sikkerheden i Arktis. Ligesom os.
Så lad os gøre det sammen.
Lad os komme i gang!
