President Donald Trump’s announcement of a tentative agreement regarding his desire to acquire Greenland has prompted confusion among world leaders, as some publicly reported details of it are vague or contradictory and Greenlandic and Danish officials said they were unaware of its contents.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told reporters in a press conference Thursday, “I don’t know what is in the agreement or the deal about my country over some discussions I didn’t attend,” but said there is “now a high-level working group working on a solution for both parties.”
Nielsen added there were no discussions “on a deal on mineral resources,” contradicting Trump’s comments to CNBC on Thursday that the agreement could include a “mineral rights” component.
