Greenland PM Calls US Delegation Visit ‘Very Aggressive’

🇬🇱Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede called a recent delegation visiting from the U.S. that included second lady Usha Vance, “very aggressive.”

According to The Hill, Egede slammed the trip, saying that it was an attempt to put more pressure on the Arctic Island to be taken over by the U.S. and move away from being a Danish territory.

“Until recently, we could safely rely on the Americans, who were our allies and friends, and with whom we liked to work closely,” Egede told the Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq on Sunday. “But that time is over, we have to admit that, because the new American leadership is completely and utterly indifferent to what we have stood together on so far, because now it is only a matter of them taking over our country over our heads.”

“The very aggressive American pressure against Greenlandic society is now so serious that the level cannot be raised any higher. The only purpose is to show a show of power to us, and the signal is not to be misunderstood,” Egede said.

🇬🇱Greenland is self-governing but relies on Denmark for foreign affairs and financial aid and is rich in minerals. The Hill further reported that a recent vote by Greenlanders showed a good majority of the nation’s population oppose U.S. annexation.
