President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his desire to acquire Greenland, a Danish territory, sparking mixed reactions among the island’s residents. While some are alarmed by the prospect of military or economic force being used to take control, others dismiss Trump’s statements as attention-seeking. Greenland, which has been under Danish control for centuries, has a majority of its citizens belonging to Inuit tribes. The autonomous territory is home to a longstanding independence movement that opposes being sold to the United States. Greenland’s Prime Minister has rejected Trump’s suggestion of taking over the country, emphasizing that the future of Greenland should be decided by its people. Danish leaders and citizens are baffled by Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland, with Denmark reiterating its commitment to retaining the territory. While other countries, such as Russia, also have economic and strategic interests in the Arctic region, Greenlanders remain divided on the issue of independence and their relationship with Denmark. Amidst the uncertainty, Greenland’s residents express a desire for peace and self-determination, rejecting the idea of being used as a bargaining chip between international powers.
