Greenland nominated premier says ‘Greenland will never be for sale’


(MENAFN) On Saturday, Greenland’s nominated prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen requested European nations to support them adding that the land is not for purchase.

“Stand with us and make clear that Greenland is not and will never be for sale. Greenland is run by the Greenlandic people and that will never change,” Nielsen informed a news agency.

About 1,000 Greenland residents protested in the capital Nuuk on Saturday, demonstrating against United States Leader Donald Trump's new comments regarding the control of their nation.

The presidents of Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut as well as Atassut groups stated in a shared remark that Trump’s attitude is "unacceptable."

On Thursday, Trump challenged Denmark’s rule over the land then stated: “Denmark is very far away and doesn't really have anything to do. What happened? A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. They say they have rights to it, and I don't know if that's true. I actually don't think so.”
