Denmark's Foreign Minister has stated that Greenland may become independent if its residents desire, but it will not become a U.S. state. This statement comes amidst discussions about Greenland's future, with the Danish government recognizing the island's aspirations for independence while firmly ruling out the possibility of it joining the United States.
