Greenlanders are worried to find themselves on Trump's shopping list

There is a lot of support among the people of Greenland that Greenland is not for sale and will not be in the future either,

she added

No journalists were allowed to interview him. It was all staged to make it seem like we — the Greenlandic people — were MAGA and love to be a part of the USA,

Lynge said

We know how they treat the Inuit in Alaska,

Lynge hit back

While others, including Danes and Americans, are entitled to their opinions, we should not be caught up in the hysteria and external pressures distract us from our path,

he said

People were curious, but some took pictures giving him [the] finger at the airport … Some wrote on Facebook: yankee go home,

she said

The Arctic zone is an area of our national and strategic interests. We are present in the Arctic and will continue to be. Maintaining peace and stability in the region is paramount, and we are open to cooperation with all nations to achieve this goal,

Lars Løkke Rasmussendanish Foreign Minister

Meeting the party leaders allows us to share the measures the government has taken over the last few days,

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters

Europe reacts very timidly – it is clear they are hesitant to challenge Trump’s words,

he said

Greenland has had more than 80 years of defence cooperation with the US for the benefit of the security of Greenland, the US and the rest of the western world,

it said

It is now time to take the next step for our country.”

Mette Frederiksendenmark Prime Minister

We have a clear interest in that it is the U.S. that plays a large role and not Russia or other countries. But Greenland is for the Greenlandic people,

Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters on Tuesday

Antony Blinkensecretary of State

The idea expressed about Greenland is obviously not a good one. But maybe more important, it's obviously one that's not going to happen. So we probably shouldn't waste a lot of time talking about it,

Blinken said

In this rush for resources, the U.S., NATO, and NATO allies want to ensure that China and Russia don't access that. China has a history of using surrogate science and investigation as a way to gain access and learn about territories in the Arctic,

Goodman said

We need it for national security. That's for the free world. I'm talking about protecting the free world,

he continued

We've long had a military base in the north of Greenland to track former Soviet, now Russian incoming missiles or satellites. And because of climate change, navigation around Greenland and travel to Greenland is becoming more accessible,

Goodman said

I'm certainly not going to get into hypotheticals. I think that's for the incoming administration to speak to,

Singh said

It’s not that you don't take what the president says seriously, because the fact that he's making these threats does change how much American allies feel like they can count on the United States going forward… it does undermine leverage that the U.S. has in terms of international rule of law. It brings us closer to the, to the law of the jungle,

Bremmer continued

No, I can't assure you on either of those two,

Trump said, when asked if he would rule out using military or economic coercion to gain control of Greenland

We are a proud Indigenous people with right to self-determination and not some sort of good that can be traded,

Aaja Chemnitz, a member of Greenland's parliament, told NBC News,

We are a peaceful country and we want to live our own life, ... And then to make threats like that, that is far beyond the line.”
