00:00Greenland has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to send a hospital ship to
00:06the Arctic Island, a territory that Trump has repeatedly said he wishes to take over.
00:12Prime Minister Jens-Frederick Nielsen says the offer had been noted, but stresses that
00:18Greenland has a free public health care system unlike the United States.
00:26Trump had said on Truth Social that he planned to send a medical vessel to Greenland, claiming
00:32many people on the island were sick and not being cared for.
00:36The U.S. President has repeatedly floated the idea of seizing the Danish Autonomous Territory
00:42for national security reasons, though he had since ruled out the use of force.
00:48Trump later announced a framework for a future deal after Denmark and NATO allies rejected
00:54his calls to give up control of the territory.
00:58Nielsen said Greenland remains open to cooperation with Washington, but urged Trump to engage in
01:05direct dialogue rather than make random outbursts on social media.
