Greenland PM reiterates we are not for sale after Trump suggests US ownership | Donald Trump

Greenland's elected leader says the massive Arctic island is not for sale after Donald Trump once again raised the question of ownership and control of the vast territory that has been part of Denmark for more than 600 years.

Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and never will be. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom, Greenland Prime Minister Mte Egede said in a written commentary.

The US president-elect announced Sunday that he had chosen Ken Howery, a former envoy to Sweden, as ambassador to Copenhagen, and commented on the status of Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark.

For the purposes of national security and freedom around the world, the United States of America believes that ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity, Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump, who takes office on January 20, did not elaborate on the statement.

For many observers, Trump's comment triggered a feeling of déjà vu. During his first term, Trump suggested in 2019 that the United States purchase Greenland, home to the strategically important U.S. Pituffik space base.

This idea was categorically rejected by Denmark as well as the island's authorities before formal discussions could take place. It also drew widespread ridicule and became emblematic of the chaos Trump has brought to traditional global diplomacy, which is now expected to happen again once Trump returns to the White House next month.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in 2019 called Trump's first offer absurd, leading the then-US president to call it nasty and cancel a visit to Copenhagen, the Danish capital.

On Sunday, Trump also threatened to reassert U.S. control over the Panama Canal, accusing Panama of charging excessive tariffs to use the Central American passage and drawing sharp rebukes from Panamanian President Jos Ral Mulino.
