Greenland Prime Minister criticizes Trump ahead of elections

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede expressed insecurity over President Trump's unpredictable comments about the territory, which he described as disrespectful. In an interview before Greenland's elections, Egede emphasized the importance of respect and stated that many in Greenland are wary of closer ties with the U.S. following Trump's rhetoric. Trump, who has repeatedly suggested that the U.S. could control Greenland, asserted on his Truth Social account that he supports the island's right to self-determination while also promising to keep its citizens safe and create jobs. Egede countered Trump's claims, insisting that Greenlanders want independence and do not wish to be part of the U.S. or Denmark. The upcoming elections are pivotal for Greenland's independence movement, reflecting a strong desire among its people to determine their own future. As the election approaches, Trump's comments continue to provoke concern among Greenland's population about their sovereignty.
