New Delhi, Jan. 14 -- After repeated threats of a US takeover of Greenland, President Donald Trump on Tuesday scoffed at Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen remark on the arctic island's preference to remain with Denmark, calling it a "big problem".

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, US local time, Trump stated that he "disagreed" with Nielsen, stressing that he had "no idea" who he was.

"The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark,'" Trump was told by a reporter, who sought his comments on the remark.

"Who said that?," asked Trump, before saying, "Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him."
