Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said on Thursday (13) that he will call the leaders of all parties to sharpen their joint rejection to the president of the United States, Donald Trump, after his latest comments on the annexation of territory to the US.
“The US President once again expressed the idea of attaching us,” wrote Prime Minister Mute Egede in a Facebook post.
“Enough,” he added.
Earlier Thursday, Trump claimed to have confidence that the US would attach Greenland.
“I think this will happen,” he told reporters during a meeting at the Oval Hall.
Greenland is the largest island in the world and home of over 56,000 people. Former Colony and now an autonomous territory of Denmark, it occupies a unique geopolitical position, located between the US and Europe. Its capital, Nuuk, is closer to New York than from the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.
Trump says he possesses Greenland is vital to US security, but experts say it may also be an eye on other aspects of the territory, such as its natural resources that can become more accessible as climate change melts ice from the territory.
This includes oil and gas, as well as rare land metals, highly sought after for electric cars and wind turbines of the green transition and the manufacture of military equipment.
