Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday delivered a rebuke to President Donald Trump’s latest push for U.S. control of Greenland, saying the Scandinavian country is ready to defend “every inch” of its territory.

Speaking to reporters on the second day of the NATO summit in Turkey’s capital Ankara, Denmark’s Frederiksen underscored the message that Greenland is not for sale.

Her comments come shortly after the U.S. president renewed his threat to seek to acquire the self-governing Danish territory, suggesting that the U.S. could pull its troops out of Europe in response to the region’s continued pushback on the issue.

“Our position is clear as it has been all through. Greenland is, of course, not for sale,” Frederiksen said. “We hope that all, including all allies, will respect the Greenlandic people’s right for self-determination and we are a sovereign state, and we need everybody to respect our territorial integrity and our sovereignty.”

Asked by CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick whether Denmark was prepared to defend Greenland militarily in the event of an attack, Frederiksen replied: “We are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory.”

In a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, Trump said Europe’s refusal to go along with his expansionist desire is “what hurt my relationship with NATO.”
