Greenland's prime minister asserts the territory is not for sale in response to Trump's interest

Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Egede, stated that the country is not for sale in response to President-elect Donald Trump's interest in purchasing the island. He emphasized Greenland's commitment to its sovereignty and freedom. Trump announced Ken Howery as his ambassador to Denmark and reiterated the U.S. belief that controlling Greenland is essential for national security. This proposal is not new, as Trump previously suggested buying Greenland during his first presidency, which was rejected by Denmark. The U.S. has historically considered acquiring Greenland, which is strategically important due to its natural resources and Arctic access. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, with significant geopolitical ties to both North America and Europe.
