Greenland's Stance on U.S. Claims

Aaja Chemnitz expressed strong disapproval of President-elect Trump's remarks about using military force to acquire Greenland, asserting that the territory is not for sale. Chemnitz stated that such comments reflect a lack of respect for Greenlandic sovereignty. Despite the media frenzy surrounding Trump's approach, Chemnitz insists that Greenlanders do not wish to be treated as a bargaining chip in international relations.

During Donald Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland, some locals were seen supporting the Trump administration, but Chemnitz emphasized that this does not represent the majority. She explained that many Greenlanders find the ongoing attention and speculation uncomfortable and fear a loss of control over their future. The portrayal of Greenland as a potential U.S. acquisition does not align with the sentiments of most citizens, who desire respect and autonomy.

Chemnitz highlighted that an election is impending in Greenland, which will be a crucial moment for the territory's governance and future independence discussions. She stressed the need for potential referendums to be grounded in factual agreements, rather than political stunts. The upcoming months will likely shape the relationship between Greenland and the U.S., particularly in terms of business development and defense cooperation.

Aaja Chemnitz, a member of the Danish parliament representing Greenland, has responded firmly to President-elect Donald Trump's recent suggestion that military force could be used to acquire Greenland. She emphasized that Greenland is not for sale and will never be for sale, underscoring the importance of respectful dialogue between allies. In contrast to the excitement among some supporters during Donald Trump Jr.'s visit, Chemnitz believes that the majority of Greenlanders do not support such notions and find the attention disrespectful. She noted that while a small minority may show support, the overarching sentiment in Greenland is one of concern regarding sovereignty and independence. Chemnitz also addressed the influence of figures like Elon Musk, who have fueled speculation regarding Greenland's potential decision-making. While Musk suggested that the people of Greenland should decide their future, she pointed out that any discussions or votes regarding independence should be based on factual agreements and the true desires of the Greenlandic people. With an election set to occur soon in Greenland, Chemnitz is optimistic yet cautious about the implications of such ongoing political discussions.

Let’s here the opinions of the people of Greenland FROM the people of Greenland and not their oppressive communist leader.

@joshuadabrowski0033

Greenland is ours 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@allenwheatley1900

I think the USA should be isolated from civilized society, they do not deserve to be amongst us.

@AstraVisst

Denmark and the EU are pathetic vassals of the US 😂😂 Denmark will give up Greenland without even opening its mouth

@chengjin3659

EU is really weak. Dont think that the EU, which is falling apart, is united. If it really fights with the United States, no country will really help Denmark. The Danish leaders own response is so weak. And the EU has a decent army? Who is the boss of NATO? Whats more terrifying is that the EU still has von der Leyen, who is a dog of the United States.

@pjtrant

Trump is trying to impress his puppet master Putin. It is pathetic and embarrassing. Apologies to Greenland and Denmark that we have this idiot for a president.

@fionaclements8571

Apparently Trump is going after Panama because he owes them money .Fact look it up CNN why are u not reporting that

@zoehoffman2376

World? Just ignore us for the next 4 years. Dont give us any attention, or even anger, dont even look at us. Itll only encourage his bad behavior.
