Greenland's PM Rejects Trump's Claims on Island's Ownership Amid Strategic Military Interests
Dec 23, 2024, 01:42 PM
Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede has firmly stated that the island is not for sale, responding to comments by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding the 'ownership and control' of Greenland. Trump, who will assume office on January 20, emphasized on Truth Social that the U.S. considers the ownership and control of Greenland as an 'absolute necessity' for national security and global freedom. This statement follows Trump's appointment of Ken Howery, a former envoy to Sweden, as the U.S. ambassador to Copenhagen. Egede emphasized Greenland's long struggle for freedom, asserting that the island, part of Denmark for over 600 years, will never be for sale. Greenland, with its strategic Pituffik air base, is crucial for the U.S. military's ballistic missile early-warning system.
