On February 14, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen refused to name the cost of Greenland at the Munich Security Conference. The broadcast was carried out on the event's website.

"Of course not. Can you estimate a part of Spain or a part of the USA or any other part of the world?" she answered the relevant question.

The politician stressed that Denmark is a sovereign state, and the right of Greenlanders to self—determination must be respected. According to her, the people of Greenland have made it clear that they do not want to become Americans.

In addition, commenting on the position of US President Donald Trump, Frederiksen noted that Denmark and Europe disagree with his desire to control the island.

On January 25, Reuters reported that the United States had not abandoned plans to seize Greenland. Trump and representatives of his administration have doubled down on the possibility of using force, and such statements have caused confusion and alarm in Washington and among the United States' allies, the newspaper said.

On January 22, the American leader announced that he was ready to cooperate with NATO on Greenland's security issues. He added that after the negotiations held at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Greenland deal would give Washington greater authority on the island.
