Danish PM Declares Greenland Not for Sale, Belongs to Greenlanders Amid Trump's Interest

Jan 7, 2025, 02:08 PM

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has firmly stated that Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders and is not for sale, in response to recent actions by Donald Trump Jr., who visited the island amid his father's expressed interest in acquiring it. Frederiksen's comments were made in the context of Greenland's ongoing push for independence, with the island's Prime Minister Múte Egede also asserting Greenland's sovereignty last month. The Danish PM's statement comes as a direct response to President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in purchasing Greenland, a move that has been met with resistance from both Greenland and Denmark.
