Trump's Greenland Bid Met With Defiance: "We Are Not For Sale"

Greenland has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's recent interest in purchasing the territory. "We are not a product, we're a people," declared Greenlandic lawmaker Aaja Chemnitz Larsen. The statement came in response to Trump's comment earlier this week. He said, "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not." Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark. Both Denmark and Greenland are members of the NATO military alliance with the United States. The idea of a U.S. purchase is not new but has always been dismissed by Greenland and Denmark. Local leaders emphasize their focus on development and partnership, not a sale.
