Katie Miller, the wife of US President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, shared a controversial image of a Greenland map in the colours of the US flag on her X account after Venezuelan strikes that occurred on Saturday.
The image was accompanied by a single word above it: "SOON". Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen condemned the post as "disrespectful". "Relations between nations and peoples are built on mutual respect and international law -- not on symbolic gestures that disregard our status and our rights," he wrote on X.
He added that there was no cause for alarm, stressing that the country was not for sale and that its future would not be determined by statements or images shared on social media.
Denmark’s ambassador to the US, Jesper Moeller Soerensen, responded earlier on Sunday with a post stating that "we expect full respect for the territorial integrity" of Denmark, above a link to Katie Miller’s image. In what he described as a pointed “friendly reminder”, the Danish ambassador added that his country, a NATO member, has "significantly boosted its Arctic security efforts" and has cooperated closely with the US on those initiatives.
