The article discusses US President Donald Trump's controversial suggestion to annex Greenland, which has drawn a strong rejection from Greenland’s leaders. Jens-Frederik Nielsen, a likely future Prime Minister, emphasized the desire for Greenland’s independence, stating they want to be recognized as Greenlanders rather than associated with the US or Denmark. Outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede criticized Trump's disrespectful remarks and reaffirmed that they cannot accept the idea of annexation. Trump, on the other hand, expressed confidence that annexation could occur, questioning Denmark's rights to Greenland and downplaying its historical claims.
We don't want to be Americans. No, we don't want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders and we want our own independence in the future.
This time we need to toughen our rejection of Trump. People cannot continue to disrespect us. The American president has once again evoked the idea of annexing us. I absolutely cannot accept that.
A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. They say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually.
