Summary

Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte B. Egede stated that Greenlanders want independence and neither want to be Danes nor Americans, following Donald Trump’s comments about acquiring the territory for strategic reasons.

Trump suggested using force or economic pressure, alarming Denmark and Europe.

Danish PM Mette Frederiksen reaffirmed Greenland’s sovereignty, stating “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”

The US sees Greenland as key in Arctic geopolitics, given its resources and location, but Egede stressed Greenland’s identity as distinct from Denmark, the US, or NATO politics.

      Doesn’t change the fact that the Inuits will be going through it for the second time.

        No, it doesn’t, of course. I was only speaking to your comment that suggests Greenland’s population is white, because that felt disingenuous to the 90% who are Inuit. Anyhoo, peace.
