The prime minister of Greenland said Friday that the people of his mineral-rich Arctic territory do not want to be Americans, but he said he understood the U.S. interest in the island given its strategic location and he is open to greater cooperation with the United States.

Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports on Donald Trump Jr.'s trip to Greenland and what acquiring the mineral-rich country would mean for U.S. defenses.

Several European leaders have cautioned Donald Trump against violating the sovereignty of other NATO allies across the continent, following comments by the U.S. president-elect that did not rule out using military force to annex Greenland’s territory.
