Greenland Rejects Trump’s Purchase Offer: A Nation’s Defiance and American Discontent
Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede, is requesting a meeting with President Trump to address the latter’s interest in acquiring the territory. Egede emphasized Greenland’s desire for independence from Denmark, explicitly rejecting any American annexation. Greenland, with a population of roughly 57,000, has been under foreign rule for centuries, first under Norway and then Denmark. While granted autonomy in 2009, Denmark still controls Greenland’s foreign and security policies.
