Greenland's prime minister on Sunday flatly rejected a proposal by Donald Trump to send a US Navy hospital ship to the Arctic island coveted by the US leader.
"That will be 'no thanks' from us," Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who heads the government of the autonomous Danish territory, wrote on his Facebook page.
"President Trump's idea to send a US hospital ship here to Greenland has been duly noted. But we have a public health system where care is free for citizens," he said.
