Egede expressed that disrespect towards Greenland must come to an end and called for a tougher political stance against these assertions. He stated that he cannot accept Trump's comments and emphasized the need for local politicians to unite in rejecting such sentiments.

Egede voiced his frustration over the US president's continued comments, stating, "This time we need to toughen our rejection of Trump. People cannot continue to disrespect us."
