In a joint statement, a Greenlander and a Dane united against President Trump's overtures to buy Greenland, affirming that the territory is not for sale. One of the authors has spent years advocating for Greenlanders' self-determination, while the other serves in the Danish Parliament. They emphasize the historical context of colonialism and their commitment to civil society in Greenland. Notably, they mention the recent surge of foreign interest, particularly from China, which prompted Greenlanders to reassess their control over natural resources and their national destiny.
We are uniting with one message: Greenland is not for sale and never will be, despite President Trump’s threats about buying Greenland.
Our collaboration symbolizes the unity between the colonized and the colonizer, representing both Greenland’s self-determination and Denmark's historical legacy.
Greenlanders have learned to benefit from their land's potential and are better prepared for foreign interests, ensuring their nation's fate is in their hands.
After years of external pressures, it is clear that Greenlanders are committed to making decisions that reflect their own wishes and future.
