Greenland premier Kielsen said on July 8 the island is not for sale, rejecting U.S. President Trump’s July 7 remark in Ankara before a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan that Greenland should be controlled by the United States rather than Denmark. Kielsen said repeated calls to take over or control Greenland would not change that position.
