This statement caused the anger of US President Donald Trump.
“If we had to choose between the US and Denmark right now, we would choose Denmark, NATO and the EU,” Nielsen was quoted as saying by The Guardian.
He added that “the goal and desire of the island is a peaceful dialogue with an emphasis on cooperation.” According to him, Trump’s desire to seize the island is also a matter of “international law and our right to our own country.”
