Greenland PM Egede Reaffirms Sovereignty Amid Trump's Claims

Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Bourup Egede, firmly asserted that 'Greenland is ours' in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments expressing a desire to acquire the territory 'one way or another.' Egede emphasized that the island's citizens are Greenlandic and that their future should be decided by them, not through external acquisition. Trump's address to Congress included a mix of support for Greenland's self-determination and assertions about U.S. intentions regarding the territory, which many in Greenland found offensive and concerning. Denmark's foreign minister and other officials reiterated that Greenland is not for sale and expressed skepticism about Trump's ambitions. The situation highlights Greenland's status as a semiautonomous territory still under Danish rule, complicating any potential U.S. claims. Overall, there is a strong sentiment among Greenlanders against the idea of becoming part of the United States.
