Mute Egede, the Prime Minister of Greenland, emphasized in a recent press conference that "Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," reinforcing the desire for autonomy in light of discussions about its status.
During the press conference, Egede expressed openness toward dialogue with President-elect Trump, stating, "We are ready to talk," indicating Greenland's willingness to engage in discussions while asserting its independence.
Trump's discussion of acquiring Greenland has raised concerns, with Egede noting Denmark sent private messages to Trump's team, showing an interest in discussing boosting security in Greenland to enhance U.S. military presence on the island.
In remarks questioning Denmark's legal claim to Greenland, Trump stated, "If the country did [have a right], it should be relinquished for national security for the US," highlighting the geopolitical stakes at play.
