Greenland asserts it is not for sale after Trump's comments on control

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede stated that the territory is "not for sale," responding to comments from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump about taking control of the island. Egede emphasized the importance of Greenland's freedom. Trump announced his choice of Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark and reiterated that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. He did not provide further details on his statement. This is not the first time Trump has shown interest in Greenland. His previous proposal to buy the territory was rejected by Denmark and Greenland, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling it "absurd."
