Greenland Prime Minister rejects Trump’s hospital ship offer, says their public healthcare system is sufficient and

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has firmly declined an offer from former US President Donald Trump to send a hospital ship to the territory. Nielsen emphasized that Greenland's public healthcare system is both free and adequate to meet the needs of its residents. The rejection of the proposal underscores Greenland's commitment to maintaining its healthcare sovereignty and highlights the territory's confidence in its existing medical infrastructure. The Prime Minister's statement reflects a broader sentiment in Greenland regarding self-sufficiency and the importance of local governance, especially in the context of international proposals that may be perceived as undermining their autonomy. This decision comes amid ongoing discussions about healthcare access and the role of external support in the region, reaffirming Greenland's stance on prioritizing its health resources and systems over foreign interventions.
