The unspecified defence spending could amount to anywhere from €1.34 billion to €13.27 billion.
Trump said on Sunday on his social media platform, Truth Social that the US would seek ownership and control of Greenland for “purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world”. The remarks came just days after the former US President suggested Washington’s desire to take ownership of neighbouring Canada and re-take the Panama Canal.
In response, Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said “Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland.” He also stated that his country is “not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.”
Greenland has its own extensive local government but is still affiliated with the Danish crown.
The country was a Danish colony until 1953, when it was reclassified as a district of Denmark. Greenland was then fully integrated in the Danish state under the constitution of Denmark, making its people, citizens of Denmark.
