In recent discussions, President Trump asserted the need for US control over Greenland, citing its strategic value in international security amid increasing regional presence from Russia and China. He hinted at a possible annexation and expressed his view that collaboration with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte could facilitate this. However, Greenland's leadership, including outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede and parliamentary leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen, vehemently rejected Trump's comments, reaffirming the island's sovereignty. They emphasized that such proposals are inappropriate and incompatible with Greenland's interests.
Trump stressed the strategic importance of Greenland for US dominance in the Arctic, stating, "I think it will happen," regarding a potential annexation.
Rutte indicated his reluctance to engage in the annexation debate, aiming to keep NATO out of the discussion on Greenland’s status.
Greenland's outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede swiftly rejected Trump's annexation idea, stating on Facebook, "Enough is enough," emphasizing their sovereignty.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen condemned Trump's comments as inappropriate, reinforcing the need for Greenlanders to unite against such claims.
