Trump has not spoken publicly about the call, choosing instead to repost on social media the results of a 2019 poll that found that 68 percent of Greenlanders supported independence from Denmark.

The Prime Minister of Denmark has told Donald Trump that it is up to the residents of Greenland to decide on any independence. Trump has said that control of Greenland was an "absolute necessity" and did not rule out using military or economic action such as tariffs against Denmark to make it happen.
