At the signing ceremony of the executive order at the White House, President Trump said in a question-and-answer session with the media, "I'm sure Denmark will be together."
Denmark is also spending a lot of money on maintaining Greenland, adding, "People in Greenland are not happy to belong to Denmark either. They will be happy to be with us," he claimed.
In particular, Greenland explained that China's ships and warships are everywhere, and Denmark cannot protect Greenland from it, saying it is necessary for "international security," not the United States.
Earlier last month, when Trump nominated the US ambassador to Denmark, he said, "For national security and freedom around the world, the United States believes that Greenland's ownership and domination are absolutely necessary."
Greenland's prime minister, Mute Egede, has been a vocal proponent of independence, stressing that Greenland cannot be sold and that Greenlanders themselves have the right to decide their future.
