Donald Trump’s”>Greenland’s authority is undertaking swings to protect itself from President Donald Trump‘s efforts.
On Tuesday, Greenland’s Parliament passed a bill banning social gifts “from unusual or private donors” to guard” Greenland’s social integrity”. The bill became law right away and was open to all of Trump’s new initiatives.
According to NBC News, the bill “must be seen in illumination of the political interests in Greenland and the present scenario where representatives of an allied tremendous power have expressed interest in taking over and controlling Greenland.”
In the meantime, Greenland’s prime secretary Mute Egede demanded a fresh snap poll to ensure a united front.
” It’s time for an election to the Inatsisartut]Greenlandic Parliament]. If the Inatsisartut approves my request, this does occur on March 11th”, Egede wrote Tuesday in a , Facebook post, translated by Politico.
” We are in a critical time. a day that we have never lived in. The moment is no longer for domestic division, but instead for our nation’s cohesion and unity. He continued,” I am once more ready to lead our country and work for you.”
Egede had previously expressed hoped he could arrange a conference with Trump, with Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt claiming the meeting may take place time after the mayor’s opening.
” That’s what we’re working on”, Egede said when asked if he conveyed the message that Trump don’t get Greenland. ” You can’t get around the fact that if they]the U. S. ] want to talk about Greenland, they have to talk to Greenland”.
” The Greenlandic persons may create their goals known. We do not want to be Danes. We do not want to be Americans”, he added.
Egede is a member of the communist Eskimo Ataqatigiit group, which supports independence in Greenland. Denmark has allowed the area to consider freedom whenever it wants, despite ample funding from Copenhagen that prevented this.
Trump has consistently argued that in order for national security, the United States has acquire Greenland. The island sits atop several important natural resources, hosts a key U. S. military base, and occupies a big strategic location.
