Greenlanders are concerned about Donald Trump's repeated interest in acquiring Greenland as part of the U.S. Trump's assertions that the island is relevant to 'international security' have sparked dialogue on independence. While Prime Minister Egede asserts that Greenland is not for sale, there is openness to business collaborations, particularly regarding military presence and resources. Greenland is also gearing up for elections, with independence likely being a central issue, as the island currently relies heavily on financial subsidies and aims to diversify its economy beyond fishing.
Greenland is not for sale, but we are open to doing business with the US; if it’s about military presence, we are not opposed to that.
Nathanielsen emphasized that if the US is interested in expansionism, Greenland is a democracy that seeks respectful relations with its allies.
