Donald Trump's recent comments regarding the acquisition of Greenland were met with widespread criticism in Nuuk, emphasizing disrespect towards Greenland's sovereignty. During his address, he suggested the U.S. would ultimately acquire Greenland, which drew laughter from attendees. Greenlandic leaders, including Minister Naaja Nathanielsen, highlighted a fundamental lack of respect for Greenland's identity and democratic structures. They asserted that Greenland's future should be determined by its people, not by foreign powers. Arctic Prime Minister Mute Egede reinforced this sentiment, stating that Greenland is not for sale and won't be seen as an American territory.
Hearing American legislators giggle over statements like 'we are gonna get it one way or the other' is disrespectful. I say no thank you to the idea of Red, White and Blueland.
We don't want to be Americans, nor Danes; We are Kalaallit. The Americans and their leader must understand that. We are not for sale and cannot simply be taken.
