Switzerland says any change to Greenland's status requires consent of Denmark and Greenland
ZURICH, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Any change to Greenland's status requires the consent of Denmark and Greenland, the Swiss foreign ministry said on Wednesday following a renewed threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to take over the Danish territory.
Asked for its position on recent remarks by U.S. government officials on Greenland, the Swiss foreign ministry said it did not comment on statements by foreign governments.
It then added in a statement: "According to international law, Greenland belongs to Denmark and has a status with extensive autonomy. Any change to this status requires the consent of both Denmark and Greenland."
Trump has in recent days repeated that he wants to take control of Greenland, an idea first voiced in 2019 during his first presidency, arguing it is vital for the U.S. military, and that Denmark has not done enough to protect it.
