U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and does not rule out using military or economic power to get Denmark to hand it over.

Greenlanders do not want to follow American policy on China. And a large minority view Chinese influence in the world positively.

The prime minister said that while Greenlanders do not want to become Americans, “the reality is we are going to work with the U.S. — yesterday, today and tomorrow.”

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said on Monday the country is looking to strengthen its defence and mining ties with the United States, albeit on its own terms, following renewed interest from U.S.

"For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"We could make a deal with Trump and split Greenland into a couple of pieces," said Andrey Gurulyov, a Russian politician.
