Greenland's PM Ready to Talk as Independence Pursued Amid Trump's Acquisition Interest
Jan 11, 2025, 05:20 PM
Greenland's Prime Minister Múte B. Egede has expressed the island's desire for independence, stating that "the status quo is no longer an option." He emphasized that Greenland wants to be Greenlandic, not Danish or American. In response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, Egede said, "We are ready to talk," but stressed that the future of Greenland should be decided by its people. Denmark has reportedly sent private messages to Trump regarding Greenland's future as acquisition talks intensify. "We don't want to be Danes, we don't want to be Americans. We want to be Greenlandic," Egede declared during a press conference in Copenhagen after meetings with Danish leaders.
