Greenland Not For Sale, Trump Gets Answer To Threat
Denmark's prime minister says Greenland is not for sale as Donald Trump Jr. visits the island. Donald Trump Jr. has arrived in Greenland for a "private" visit as his father, President-elect Donald Trump, reiterated his desire to make the autonomous Danish territory part of the United States. Because the younger Trump's visit to the vast Arctic island on Tuesday was not official, he is not expected to meet with any Greenlandic or Danish officials. Donald Trump has threatened that the United States needs the Panama Canal and Greenland for economic stability and can use the military to control them and impose economic sanctions to obtain the Panama Canal and Greenland. Greenland's Prime Minister Meute Ejede has called for independence from Denmark, saying the island needs to break free from its colonial past. "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, the island is 'not for sale,'" Danish Prime Minister Matt Frederiksen said.
