Greenland's prime minister rejects Trump's renewed interest in purchasing territory

Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Egede has firmly rejected President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in purchasing the territory from Denmark. Egede stated, "Greenland is ours" and emphasized that it is not for sale. Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland is a revival of a proposal he made during his first term. He named Ken Howery as his ambassador to Denmark and expressed that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. In addition to Greenland, Trump has made controversial statements about reclaiming the Panama Canal and suggested that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state. These comments have sparked backlash from leaders in both Panama and Canada.
