Trump's threats to take control, Greenland's "icy" response:
Greenland

Among the many promises that Donald Trump made before coming to power is the acquisition of Greenland.

A few weeks before taking office as the 47th president of the United States, Trump did not rule out using military or economic force to take control of Greenland.

But it seems that the prime minister of this country himself has given Trump an answer. After thanking him, Mute Egede said that Greenland wants to decide its own future and does not want to become American.

"We are Greenlanders. We don't want to become Americans. We don't want to be Danish either. The future of Greenland will be decided by Greenland itself," Egede told Fox News.

Danish diplomats have also tried to refute Trump's statements, with Foreign Minister Lokke Rasmussen leading the way. He said he was concerned about the new president's rhetoric when he talks about expanding US territory.

Trump has stated that he needs Greenland for the security of the US economy. We recall that about 56 thousand people live in Greenland. There are several Danish and American military bases there. There is also a significant untapped wealth in minerals and fuels.

Greenland is an autonomous state, but has long been pushing for independence. This is acknowledged by Copenhagen itself, which has stated that, " Greenland belongs to its inhabitants and they are the ones who can determine their future."

On the other hand, the US is Denmark's largest export market and in the first 11 months of 2024 sales reached 326 billion kroner, or $45 billion. More precisely, they account for 17.3% of the country's exports.

Earlier this month, Trump said he would impose tariffs on Denmark if it rejects his offer to buy Greenland.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in an Instagram post yesterday that Europe must "navigate into a new reality."

Recalling the right to self-determination of the people of Greenland, she also stressed that Denmark must maintain its alliance with the United States, which she described as the most important since World War II.

The prime minister called a meeting with Danish party leaders again today to brief them on the situation. " We have to accept that the next four years will be difficult ," said Pia Olsendeer of the Green Left after the meeting.
