The day after President Trump announced a “framework” to acquire Greenland, the leader of that island said he’s not sure what the president meant.

“I don’t know what’s in the deal,” Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the premier of Greenland, told reporters in Nuuk on Thursday.

Trump, who has repeatedly made clear he wants ownership of the island, left a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos on Wednesday and announced “the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” was in place.

The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average soared in reaction to the news. 

But Nielsen said that meeting “was about the common goal, the thing we actually agree on, we have to do more on security in our area.”

That would include “increased military presence and exercise activities” with US and NATO forces on Greenland, which occupies a strategically important position in the North Atlantic and “nothing about a deal on mineral resources or anything else,” Nielsen said.

The president, for months, has put pressure on Denmark to hand over the island, saying “nothing short of ownership” was acceptable.

He’s described Greenland as an essential part of American security and wants it to be a part of his Golden Dome missile defense system.

“We’re getting everything we wanted, total security, total access to everything,” the president told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo of the deal, in an interview before he left Davos. “Have as many bases, have all the equipment that we want.”

The White House has not released details of the deal, but a source familiar with the talks told The Post the early conversations in Davos focused the military component – stationing American troops and NATO forces on the island. 

Any conversations about mineral rights — Greenland has vast, untapped reserves of rare earth minerals — and economic issues would come at a later date.

The US wants to stop Russian and Chinese economic influence on the island.

A European official told The Post that Rutte has floated the idea of Denmark transferring Pituffik Space Base in northern Greenland, where American forces are based, to the US.

The strategically important installation has been under American control since a 1951 defense agreement with Denmark, but the land legally belongs to the Danes. Other pockets of land could also be included in a deal, the New York Times reported.

Trump confirmed that details of the framework are still being negotiated.

“It’s really being negotiated now, the details of it,” he told Fox Business. The president has tapped Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff to lead the discussions on the American side.

But he said there will be no cost to US taxpayers.

“I’m not gonna have to pay anything. We’re gonna have total access to Greenland. We’re gonna have all the  military access that we want. We’re gonna be able to put what we need on Greenland, because we want it,” He said. “We’re going to not have to pay anything other than the fact that we are building the Golden Dome.”

Nielsen, Greenland’s premier, said he was willing to talk about the Golden Dome but made it clear he wants to be part of the negotiations.

“We are ready to discuss things in a working group. We are ready to discuss things in mutual respect,” he said.

He also emphasized that Greenland, a territory of Denmark, does not want to be part of the United States.

“We choose the kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU. We choose NATO,” he said, describing any infringements on Greenland’s sovereignty as a “red line.”

Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters that Rutte doesn’t speak for her country.

“NATO does not have a mandate to negotiate on behalf of Denmark and Greenland. As I understand it, discussions have focused on increased NATO engagement in the High North and the Arctic region,” she said.
