After taking office, Trump sparked unease regarding military intervention for Greenland and the Panama Canal. Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede, emphasized the island’s desire for self-determination, asserting that its future should be decided by its citizens. Although Trump praised Greenland, citing its importance for international security, Denmark's officials responded firmly, warning against any violation of sovereignty. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed the significance of Denmark's alliance with the U.S. while recognizing Greenlandic self-determination rights, marking a complex global relationship amid rising tensions.
We are Greenlanders. We don't want to be Americans. We don't want to be Danish either. Greenland's future will be decided by Greenland.
Greenland is a wonderful place, we need it for international security...I'm sure that Denmark will come along -- it's costing them a lot of money.
