Greenland PM seeks independence following Trump acquisition comments

Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede recently declared his intentions for the island's future, stating taking major steps to gain independence from Denmark is "necessary."

Egede's remarks, which follow a Dec. 22 post on Truth Social by President-elect Donald Trump advocating for the "ownership and control" of Greenland, focused on the basis of secession from Denmark.

"The upcoming new election period must, together with the citizens, create these new steps, based on the foundations that have already been created," Egede said.
