No, because continents aren't determined by political affiliations. Most people would say Greenland is part of North America.
Here is some help for you from the World Atlas.

"Description: North America, the planet's 3rd largest continent, includes (23) countries and dozens of small island possesions and territories - mostly in the Caribbean. It contains all Caribbean and Central America countries, Canada, Mexico and the United States of America - three of the largest countries on the planet,
as well as Greenland - the world's largest island."
