‘We don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders,’ says Jens-Frederik Nielsen

Summary

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit party, rejected Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. will annex the island.

Nielsen, whose party won a surprise election victory, emphasized Greenland’s right to self-determination, saying, “We want to be Greenlanders.”

Outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede also condemned Trump’s remarks, urging a united political rejection. Trump reiterated his desire for U.S. control, citing national security.

However, Greenland’s election focused on healthcare, education, and economic growth, with Demokraatit advocating for delayed independence until financial stability is achieved.

    Outstanding.

    But tbh I have no fuckin clue what sort of insane shit orangeboi is gonna pull. All bets are off guys. I got nothing. No fucking idea. Roll o’ the dice. A coin toss, if I’m honest. What a time to be alive.

    Maybe try to build some nukes real quick, or get the UK or France to lend you some?
