Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could annex Greenland in a Facebook post on March 13.

“The U.S. president has once again aired the thought of annexing us,” Egede wrote. “Don’t keep treating us with disrespect. Enough is enough.”

Egede announced plans to convene a meeting with Greenland’s political leaders to reinforce their rejection of Trump’s proposal.

Trump's most recent comments about Greenland came during a White House meeting on March 12 with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

“I think it will happen,” Trump said in response to a reporter asking the probability of Greenland’s annexation.

He also claimed that the U.S. needs Greenland “for international security.”

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark and a NATO member state. The Arctic island houses both Danish and U.S. military bases and has vast reserves of mineral wealth.

Russia has said it is monitoring developments regarding Trump and Greenland due to Moscow's own "strategic interests" in the Arctic region.

Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
