This afternoon at 14 will the chairman of Naalakkersuisut, Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D), hold a press conference for the international press.

The press conference will be in Katuaq in Nuuk.

Presumably the latest announcements from the US President, Donald Trump, come to fill. After a meeting with NATO's Secretary General, Mark Rutte, yesterday Trump said that a framework for a future agreement has been developed about Greenland.

We do not yet know what the agreement actually contains.

In Davos, Trump has been very unclear about specific content, but he has stated, among other things, that the agreement "gives us everything we want. Including national and international security."

Prime Minister: Only Denmark and Greenland can make decisions

Donald Trump has said that negotiations are underway on "total access" to Greenland. However, the USA already has a fairly broad framework for its presence in Greenland.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (Social Democracy) has said that there have been no negotiations on the sovereignty of Denmark and Greenland. She has not been at the meeting, but has been in ongoing contact with Mark Rutte. She states that only Denmark and Greenland will be able to make decisions regarding Greenland and Denmark.

However, Jens-Frederik Nielsen called the press conference before this announcement from Donald Trump came out.

On Friday, the Foreign Policy Committee in the Danish Parliament will hold a meeting at 05:00 Greenland time, where the topic is "the Kingdom's relationship with the United States."
