Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Sunday that the autonomous territory of Denmark is not interested in receiving a U.S. hospital ship that U.S. President Donald Trump wants to send to the island.

Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform on Saturday that he was working with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to send "a great hospital boat" to Greenland "to take care of" people who are "sick."

Nielsen wrote in a Facebook post that the answer is "no, thank you," noting that Greenland has a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens and calling it a conscious choice and a fundamental part of Greenlandic society.
