Greenland rejects Trump’s statements on annexation
Greenland leaders respond to Trump’s statements during Mark Rutte’s visit, reiterating the unacceptability of an annexation proposal
A wave of protest swept through Greenland following statements made by US President Donald Trump on the possible annexation of the island. The White House raised the issue during the visit of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in a press conference that provoked strong reactions throughout Greenland. Trump reiterated his interest in controlling Greenland, sparking outrage among local political leaders.
Reactions from Greenlandic parties
Following the US president’s statements, the leaders of all major Greenlandic parties called an emergency meeting at Inatsisartut, the island’s parliament, to express their firm opposition to the idea of annexation. In a joint note, the politicians stated: ‘We, all party leaders, cannot accept the repeated statements about the annexation and control of Greenland.
The note goes on to emphasise that such behaviour, on the part of an ally, is unacceptable. ‘As party leaders, we find this behaviour offensive to friends and allies in a defence alliance,’ the Greenland politicians added, thus clarifying the unanimous position of the local political class.
The protest demonstration in Nuuk
In response to Trump’s statements, a demonstration has been organised in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm local time. The procession will head towards the US consulate, with the intention of sending a clear message to Trump: ‘We cannot accept his threats. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people,’ Orla Joelsen, one of the organisers of the event, said on Facebook.
The silence of the American consulate
Meanwhile, the Danish public service broadcaster, DR, attempted to interview the US consul in Nuuk, but the diplomat refused to comment on the situation. This silence further fuelled tensions, with many Greenlanders seeing Trump’s words as a threat to their sovereignty.
The issue of Greenland and its independence thus remains at the centre of the political debate, with a growing mobilisation of the local population to defend their autonomy and rights against external pressure.
