‘Enough is enough’: Greenland rejects Trump’s takeover talk — again
Global News
'That’s why NATO might have to get involved ... we really need Greenland for national security. It’s very important,' Trump said in front of NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
The outgoing prime minister of Greenland said Thursday that he plans to summon the leaders from all parties in the territory to issue a joint rejection of U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to take control of the Arctic island.
During a Thursday Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump said U.S. control of Greenland could be important for national security reasons and even suggested that NATO should be involved.
When asked by a reporter about the U.S. taking over Greenland, Trump said, “I think it will happen.”
Outgoing Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede responded to Trump’s recent comments in a Facebook post, writing, “Enough is enough.”
“Now the American president has once again evoked the idea of annexing us. I absolutely cannot accept that,” Egede wrote.
He said he had summoned the leaders from all parties to come together “because this time we need to tighten our rejection to Trump.”
“Don’t keep treating us with disrespect,” he added.
During his meeting on Thursday, Trump said he was sitting “with the man who could be very instrumental” in helping the U.S. acquire Greenland, referencing Rutte, and told him that the U.S. needs the island for “national security.”
