In their words: Greenlanders talk about Trump's desire to own their Arctic island
""people are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days. And we can't really understand it,""
""undermining us as a people,""
""The Arctic climate and environment is so different from maybe what they (Americans) are used to with the warships and helicopters and tanks. A dog sled is more efficient. It can go where no warship and helicopter can go,""
""I think he (Trump) should mind his own business,""
President Trump proposed purchasing Greenland and suggested the U.S. could take the island by force, creating a diplomatic rift with Denmark. Denmark's foreign minister reported a fundamental disagreement with the United States over Greenland. Greenlandic ministers and residents report widespread anxiety, sleeplessness, and frightened children. Critics say remarks reducing Greenland's defenses to "two dog sleds" undermine Greenlandic culture and ignore historical cooperation with U.S. forces during World War II. Local voices stress that Arctic conditions favor traditional methods like dog sleds in some terrain. Many Greenlanders dismiss claims of Russian and Chinese naval swarms near Greenland.
