Danish Foreign Minister Larash Luke Rasmussen on Friday rejected the recent statements of US President Donald Trump about the annexation of Greenland, noting that another country cannot control the Danish island with autonomous.
“If you see the NATO Treaty, the United Nations Charter, or International Law, Greenland is not offered to include it,” he told reporters.
Trump had responded to a question posed by journalists at the White House regarding controlling the island by saying, “I think that will happen,” while the Secretary -General of NATO refused, Mark Route, who was meeting with him at the time, to interfere in the matter.
But outgoing Prime Minister Greenland, Mott, Igdah, said, “Enough”, noting that he would hold a meeting of party leaders to come up with a common cold rejecting Trump’s statements.
“This time, we have to tighten our dialect (what is made by) Trump. We should not continue to reduce our respect,” said Egda on Facebook.
“The American president again put forward an idea that implicitly. I can never accept this,” he added.
“I respect the result of the elections (that his party lost last Tuesday), but I consider that I have a duty as a temporary prime minister. Therefore, I asked the administration to invite party leaders to a meeting as soon as possible.”

Trump’s comments also sparked criticism of Yans Frederick Nielsen, who is expected to be the next Prime Minister of Greenland after the victory of his Democratic Party (right -wing) in the elections.
He said – in a post on Facebook – that “Trump’s statement from the United States is inappropriate and again shows that we have to stand together in such situations.”
It is noteworthy that during his first term, President Trump put the idea of buying Greenland from Denmark, which was rejected by Copenhagen and the people of the island alike.
Since his return to power this year, he has intensified his pressure and statements to control it, claiming that the United States needs to control the island for its security.
According to surveys, most Greenland people support independence from Denmark, but they refuse to include it by Washington.
