Greenland’s new prime minister sent a blunt message to President Donald Trump and his administration Sunday as the territory reels in the aftermath of a visit from Vice President JD Vance.

The comments from Jens-Frederik Nielsen also come one day after Trump suggested that military force was not off the table in acquiring the resource-rich island, telling NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Saturday: “No, I never take military force off the table. But I think there’s a good possibility that we could do it without military force.”

Nielsen’s statement comes in stark contrast to Vance’s Friday appearance at the Pituffik Space Force base in north-western Greenland, where the vice president said such a thing would not happen.

“We must listen when others talk about us. But we must not be shaken,” Nielsen said in a Facebook post.
