Trump has long expressed interest in the acquisition of Greenland, an Arctic Island believes he is rich in unused minerals and oil resources. Earlier this month, he did not refuse to use the force or impose revenue to acquire the Danish independent area.
On Saturday, Trump told reporters that he believed that the United States would eventually “get the Greenland”, which he sees as a valuable region because the melting Arctic ice has opened new shipping routes.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister Laus Lok Rasmussen withdrew firmly against the remarks, saying “Trump will not have a Greenland”.
Greenland’s Trade and Minister of Justice, Naja Nethenelson, pointed to the AFP News Agency that the United States has maintained military presence on the island for 80 years.

However, he emphasized that if Trump’s intentions were an expansionist, “we are a democracy, we are allies, and we ask our allies to respect our institutions.”
Nithenelson added that the Greenland people were going through a “disturbing time” and were “worried” about Trump’s comments.
Although Greenland has long sought independence from Denmark, it is open to doing business with the United States.
Following the inauguration of Trump, Greenland’s Prime Minister silently Aggy said the Green Landers did not want to be “American”.
