Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte B. Egede has rejected the idea of Greenland becoming part of the United States, emphasizing that its people want to remain Greenlandic, not Danish or American.
His comments follow US President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that he might use force or economic pressure to acquire Greenland, citing national security concerns due to its strategic Arctic location and natural resources.
Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, is of growing interest due to its proximity to North America and its potential resources, which are becoming more accessible as climate change melts ice.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, while acknowledging the geopolitical interest, reiterated that Greenland belongs to its people.
The remarks have sparked anxiety in Denmark and Europe, with concerns about the US using coercive measures.
