Greenland’s prime minister has a message for President Donald Trump: “Greenland is ours.” Múte Bourup Egede made the statement Wednesday, just hours after Trump declared in his speech to a joint session of Congress that he intended to gain control of Greenland “one way or the other.”

Summary

Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede firmly rejected Trump’s vow to acquire the island, declaring, “Greenland is ours.”

His statement came after Trump told Congress that the U.S. supports Greenland’s self-determination but will “get it one way or another” for security reasons.

Trump’s remarks, made a week before Greenland’s elections, have fueled discussions on full independence from Denmark.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen downplayed Trump’s comments, highlighting Greenland’s decision-making process. Amidst growing interest in severing ties with Denmark, Greenlanders will vote Tuesday.

    I think you are painting the blackest picture, but the fact that this is not an unlikely scenario is frightening.

    Europe is not ready to fight Russia without America. It wouldn’t last three months against Russia + America and possibly China.

    I don’t know what will happen from now on. And I think that’s the one thing we can be certain of: The world is now a place that is a lot less predictable. The post WWII Word order is over.
