Nuuk: Donald Trump has been threatening to grab Greenland. After Trump became President, now the Prime Minister of Greenland has broken the silence. Greenland Prime Minister Myut Agade said that Greenland does not want to become America. Also said that Greenland will choose its own future. Trump took the oath of office of US President on Monday. But earlier in early January, he had talked about bringing Panama Canal and Greenland under American control. He raised concerns by not refusing US military intervention. When reporters asked Trump a question about Greenland, he said that Greenland is a wonderful place, we need it for international security.

Trump said, ‘I am sure Denmark will come together – they have to spend a lot of money to maintain it’. Following Trump’s statement, on Tuesday, Greenland and Denmark officials defended the right to self -determination of the Arctic Island. Myut Agade said, ‘We are the people of Greenland. We do not want to be American. We do not even want to be a Danish. The future of Greenland will be decided by Greenland. Our country and our people will decide what will happen to Greenland.

Ready to interact with America

Stating that the country is facing a ‘difficult situation’, Egade reiterated that Greenland is ready to negotiate with the US to protect American interests in the Arctic, where rivalry with China and Russia is increasing. . The United States has an active military base in the northwest of Greenland, located in a strategic place in the Arctic as the snow is melting due to climate change and opening new shipping routes.

The world’s largest island – whose capital Nuke is close to Copenhagen from New York – also has huge unused minerals and oil reserves, although there is a ban on the discovery of oil and uranium. Egade reminded, ‘We have cooperated with America for more than 80 years on security issues.’ He said that the officials were working to organize a meeting with the US to explain the situation in Greenland, ‘Egade admitted that Trump’s recent statement was’ worrisome’ and had created concern among the people of Greenland.

Elections are to be held in Greenland

Denmark Foreign Minister Larse Lokke Rasmusen said on Tuesday that no country can take any other country on its own. He said, ‘Of course we cannot keep a world system where the country, if they are older, whether they are known by any name, just whatever they want.’ Greenland is going to hold elections before April 6, where the question of freedom is expected to be at the top of the agenda.

Economically, Greenland rely on a subsidy equal to the fifth part of his GDP from Denmark. Despite its autonomy, Denmark controls judicial matters, monetary policy, foreign affairs, defense and security policy in Greenland. On Monday, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mete Frederickson said in a post on Instagram that Europe would need to navigate with ‘a new reality’ with Trump becoming President.
