The Greenlandic authorities, responding to Donald Trump’s intentions to take control of the island, have stated that their relationship with Denmark remains unchanged and emphasized that they do not seek to become part of the United States.
These statements were made by the island’s leadership during a press conference on January 21. Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede pointed out that the island actively cooperates with various countries, including Denmark and the United States, and has “many channels” for negotiations.
Egede also mentioned that efforts are being made to organize a meeting with Trump’s team where they can provide a detailed explanation of Greenland’s position.
Greenland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, stressed that the island is working on establishing cooperation with the new American administration.
Recently, Donald Trump raised the issue of purchasing Greenland again, a strategically important island rich in natural resources and part of Denmark. After his inauguration, Trump expressed hope that Denmark would support his plans to buy the island.
