Greenland's leader says the island 'is ours' as Trump vows to acquire the territory (apnews.com)

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.
