Trump renews interest in U.S. control of Greenland but Prime Minister rejects proposal

President-elect Donald Trump has renewed his interest in U.S. control over Greenland, stating it is essential for national security. However, Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede firmly rejected the idea, emphasizing that the island is not for sale. This is not the first time Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland. In 2019, he faced similar rejection from Denmark and Greenland when he proposed the idea during his first term. In addition to Greenland, Trump criticized Panama for high fees related to the Panama Canal, prompting a swift response from Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino, who reaffirmed Panama's ownership of the canal.
