Berlin: The people of Greenland would like to be part of the United States, President Donald Trump has indicated in remarks aboard Air Force One, journalists travelling with the president reported on Sunday.
“I think Greenland will be worked out with us. I think we’re going to have it. And I think the people want to be with us, as you know.
There’s 55,000 people there, want to be with us,” Trump said. He added that he did not really know what claim Denmark had to the autonomous territory, but added that a Danish refusal would be “a very unfriendly act.”
Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte B Egede has said that the people of Greenland would decide the territory’s future.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen supported his comments. (DPA)
