Greenland Responds Savagely In Ten Words To Trump’s Plan To Acquire The Territory

Published on March 6, 2025

Despite asserting that the people of Greenland are “incredible people,” the region has retaliated against Donald Trump’s assertions that he will seize their country “one way or the other.”

In his speech to Congress on Tuesday, March 4, President Trump disclosed that Vladimir Putin has sent the United States “strong signals” for peace and described a letter he got from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding the current European conflict.

In a somewhat perplexing speech, the 47th President also had a message for the people of Greenland.

“If you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America,” Trump stated.

“We need Greenland for national security and even international security.”

“And we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it. But we need it really for international world security.”

Despite seemingly offering ‘the incredible people of Greenland’ the choice to ‘determine [their] own future,’ Trump then resolved: “And I think we’re going to get it – one way or the other, we’re going to get it.”

And the president’s speech concluded with: “We will keep you safe. We will make you rich. And together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.”

“It’s a very small population but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.”

Greenland’s prime minister, Mute Egede, has since responded to Trump’s remarks with a succinct 10-word retort.

He said: “We do not wish to be Americans. Greenland is ours.”

He added: “We do not want to be Americans, nor Danes, we are Greenlanders.”

“The Americans and their leaders must understand that. We are not for sale and cannot just be taken. Our future is decided by us in Greenland.”

Back in January, following a ‘fiery’ call with Denmark’s Prime Minister – Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom since the 18th Century – Trump told press: “I think we’re going to have it. I think the people want to be with us.”

“I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world.”

“I think Greenland, we’ll get because it has to do with freedom of the world.”

“It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we’re the one that can provide the freedom. They can’t.”
