GREENLAND’S prime minister on Wednesday hit back at President Donald Trump’s pledge to take the Arctic territory “one way or the other”, insisting that islanders did not see their future with the United States or even Denmark.Mute Egede rejected Trump’s expansionist ambitions to annex the sparsely populated but mineral-rich and strategically placed island, in a partisan address to the US Congress in Washington on Tuesday.“We don’t want to be Americans, or Danes either. We are Greenlanders. The Americans and their leader must understand that,” Egede wrote in a Facebook post.“We are not for sale and can’t just be taken. Our future is decided by us in Greenland,” he said, six days before the island’s legislative elections where the longstanding question of independence tops the agenda. — AFPSource: The Global New Light of Myanmar
