Denmark Turns Down Trump's Hospital Ship Proposal for Greenland

Denmark's defense minister rejected President Trump's plan to deploy a U.S. Navy hospital ship to Greenland, saying the government was not consulted and there was no need for special healthcare aid; Greenland already provides universal healthcare, and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen highlighted equal access to care. The move appears tied to Trump's long-standing interest in Greenland, while the Mercy ship reportedly remains under maintenance and no U.S. response was immediately issued.

The move comes amid Trump’s previous interest in Greenland and raises sovereignty and healthcare-system concerns among Greenlanders, though no concrete plan or timetable has been announced.
