Greenland’s Premier-Elect Asserts: ‘Greenland Will Never Be Up for Sale’
(MENAFN) Greenland’s premier-elect, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, called on European countries to show their support for the territory on Saturday, affirming that Greenland is not and will never be for sale.
“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 stated in an interview with a news agency.
Approximately 1,000 Greenlanders took to the streets in the capital, Nuuk, on Saturday, protesting remarks made by US President Donald trump regarding the island’s control.
In a joint remark, leaders from the Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut, and Atassut parties denounced Trump’s comments, labeling his behavior as “unacceptable.”
Trump, in a statement made on Thursday, questioned Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland, saying, “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.”
Trump also mentioned that he had been in contact with both Denmark and Greenland, saying, “We have to do it” – referring to the potential acquisition of the island.
