Wow! In an unprecedented turn of events, Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede has spoken out in response to President Donald Trump’s calls to acquire the territory. He declared that it’s time for Greenland to gain independence from Denmark.
“It is now time to take the next step for our country,” Egede said. “Like other countries in the world, we must work to remove the obstacles to cooperation, which we can describe as the shackles of the colonial era, and move on.”
He continued, “Our cooperation with other countries, and our trade relations, cannot continue to take place solely through Denmark.”
Egged added, “Work has already begun on creating the framework for Greenland as an independent state. It is necessary to take major steps… The upcoming new election period must, together with the citizens, create these new steps.”
