Greenland has long been a matter of strategic interest to the United States due to its location and natural resources, an autonomous region of Denmark. Trump’s comments have re -raised concerns among the people of Greenland, especially when the island is preparing for its parliamentary elections on 11 March.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Bauroop Agade has rejected US President Donald Trump’s claim that the United States will acquire the region. “We are not for sale,” he said. Agade made the statement after Trump’s address to the Congress, where he claimed that his administration was working to secure “rough” Greenland. The Prime Minister responded to Greenland’s sovereignty and self -determination in a Facebook post. He clearly stated that “Greenland is ours” and it cannot be purchased.
He wrote in a post in Greenlandic and Danish on Facebook on Wednesday that the citizens of the island are neither American nor Danish because they are Greenlandic. America needs to understand this. Greenland has long been a matter of strategic interest to the United States due to its location and natural resources, an autonomous region of Denmark. Trump’s comments have re -raised concerns among the people of Greenland, especially when the island is preparing for its parliamentary elections on 11 March.
His post came on Tuesday after the appeal made by Trump to the Greenland people a week before the islands voted for the parliamentary elections. Trump had said, “We strongly support your right to determine our future and if you choose, we welcome you to America.” He said, “We will keep you safe. We will make you rich. And together we will take Greenland to the heights as you have never thought before. “Trump referred to his desire to achieve Greenland for a long time Denmark and said that his administration is working closely with everyone involved in an attempt to achieve it.”
