Prime Minister of Greenland Mouta Bouurup Egede said he did not meet with the elected US President Donald Trump, but “open” for this.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Denmark Prime Minister Mette Fredericaesen, Egede said that he was aware of how the Americans consider his country as a “part of their world.”
“Greenland belongs to the Greenland people. We do not want to be Danes or Americans. We want to be the Greenlanders,” the politician emphasized.
Egede noted that he did not negotiate with Trump, but is ready to discuss with him the “unifying aspects”. “Cooperation is connected with the dialogue and means work on the decision,” the head of the Netherlands government drew attention.
– Trump’s statements regarding Greenland
Trump on December 23, in his account on the Truth Social Slts’ Clots, that for the United States, it is absolutely necessary to own Greenland to “ensure national security and freedom around the world.”
Trump’s words caused the anger of many circles, especially Greenland officials. Egede told Anadol that Greenland belongs to the Greenland people and is “not for sale.” “We will not lose our long-standing struggle for freedom,” he said.
The elected US president also hinted that it does not exclude the use of military force to establish control of Greenland and the Panama Canal.
