Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stated on Monday that while his government understood America’s legitimate interests in security in the Arctic, it was still not interested to hand over Greenland like President-elect Donald Trump had demanded.

Rasmussen stated that “we agree with Americans’ concerns regarding the security of the Arctic. We share these concerns. Therefore, in close collaboration with Greenland we are prepared to continue discussions with the U.S. incoming president in order to protect legitimate American interests.”

He added, “I do not want to enter into any disagreement with the incoming President Trump.” “He has his own way of expressing requests and we are now engaging in a more detailed dialog with the incoming President.”

Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede sounded the same note at a Monday press conference in Copenhagen. Egede stated that he would be willing to engage in a “dialogue with Trump” about economic and security issues. However, he also said “Greenland’s independence is Greenland’s business.”

1776 Coalition Sponsored The 6th Commandment The Center for Restoring Values believes there is a solution to this paradigm – the veneration of this CEO murderer—by restoring the Biblical foundation back into the lives of our children. We have failed to teach the timeless truths of responsibility, forgiveness, and hope. Instead, we’ve allowed others to promote moral relativism. Will you help us save the next generation before it’s too late?

He said that “Greenland decides what agreement we will come to,”

Egede was much more jovial on Monday. He had been a little sarcastic last week when he declared that Greenland was “not for sales and never will be for sales”. He thought it was exciting that the world’s attention would be focused on the territory he manages for a short time.

This is the first time Greenland was listened to with such intensity. He said that we should be calm, take advantage of the situation and stand united.

Egede announced on Sunday that the leaders of Greenland’s political parties would meet on Tuesday in order to form a united response to the new U.S. President.

“We must also keep in mind that we have agreements and international relations of cooperation that we can rely on, and that we can further develop. This is true also for the United States to a large extent. Egede stated that “we are allies and this is where we start.”

Egede posted a message on his Facebook page Friday stating: “We do not want to be Danes. We don’t wish to be Americans. “We want to be Greenlanders.

Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt – whose full title as Minister for Independence and External Affairs is Minister for Independence & Foreign Affairs – suggested that the United States’ interest could assist Greenland in achieving its long sought after goal of independence from Denmark.

She said, “On our way to becoming an independent Greenland we are open to a more constructive and productive cooperation with our closest neighbors.” Greenland is eager to discuss with the U.S. the possibility of business cooperation, the development and growth of Greenland’s mineral sector and other relevant areas.

“Greenland understands the changing security dynamics in Arctic. “We understand and acknowledge that Greenland is a crucial and important part of the U.S. national security interests,” said Ms. Shen.

Other prominent Greenlanders have suggested that Trump’s pressure may have the opposite result, bringing Greenland closer to Denmark.

Aja Chemnitz said that last week, most Greenlanders find it “quite scary and uncomfortable” to see Trump so determined to control the situation. She stated that she was in constant contact with Danish Premier Mette Frederiksen for a coordinated response.

A close dialogue between Greenland, Denmark and the United States is crucial at this time. She said that it was important to remain calm and consider how we could make a good decision.

She declared, “Greenland will not be MAGA or MAGA in the future.”

Greenland’s Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa, unlike Chemnitz, had no problem finding locals who are enthusiastic about joining the United States or thought that it would be nice if the Danes stopped taking them for granted.

The U.S. has a more attractive image. “Everything just gets more expensive here,” said one Greenlander.

“I do not fully trust Danes.” Another mused, “Maybe I’ll have more faith in Trump.”

A dozen House Republicans introduced on Monday a bill entitled the “Make Greenland Great Again Act” which would allow Trump to start negotiations with Denmark to purchase Greenland.

“Joe Biden blew a torch to our reputation over the past four years and President Trump, before he even takes office, is telling the World that America First is Back. “American economic and security concerns will no longer be pushed to the back burner, and House Republicans stand ready to assist President Trump in delivering for the American people,” stated sponsor Rep. Andy Ogles.
