TYRANT TRUMP is HATED -Greenlanders VOTE NO WAY Will He Take Control
TRUMP Gets UNEXPECTED SURPRISE From Greenland -NO WAY Will a TYRANT Take Our Island
Greenlands Election Winners Push Back AGAINST TRUMPs Wish to Take Control of The Island, as Trump Announces Decisive Military Action Abroad - ''We WILL Use Overwhelming Lethal Force''
EUROPE WARNS TRUMP Against Use of Force Over Greenland
The Guardian 16 MAR 2025
Chairman of Demokraatit, Jens-Frederik Nielsen center, hugs supporters during the election party at Demokraatit by cafe Killut in Nuuk, Wednesday, 12 March 2025.
NUUK, Greenland AP Greenlands likely new prime minister on Wednesday rejected Trumps effort to take control of the island, saying Greenlanders must be allowed to decide their own future as it moves toward independence from Denmark.
Jens-Frederik Nielsens Demokraatit, a pro-business party that favours a slow path to independence, won a surprise victory in Tuesdays parliamentary election, outpacing the two left leaning parties that formed the last government.
With most Greenlanders opposing Trumps overtures, the campaign focused more on issues like healthcare and education than on geopolitics.
But on Wednesday Nielsen was quick to push back against Trump, who last week told a joint session of Congress that the U.S. needed Greenland to protect its own national security interests and he expected to get it ?one way or the other.
'''We dont want to be Americans. No, we dont want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders, and we want our own independence in the future, Nielsen, 33 told Britains Sky News. And we want to build our own country by ourselves.'''
That didnt stop Trump from suggesting during a Thursday Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Greenlands election that it was very good for us and the person who did the best is a very good person, as far as WE are concerned.
Moving Toward Independence From Denmark
Greenland, a self-governing region of Denmark, has been on a path toward independence since at least 2009, when the government in Copenhagen recognized its right to self determination under international law. Four of the five main parties in the election supported independence, though they disagreed on when and how to achieve it.
The island of 56,000 people, most from Indigenous Inuit backgrounds, has attracted international attention since Trump announced his designs on it soon after returning to the White House in January.
Trump is focused on Greenland because it straddles strategic air and sea routes in the North Atlantic and is home to the US Pituffik Space Base, which supports missile warning and space surveillance operations.
Greenland also has large deposits of the rare earth minerals, which TRUMP wants, needed to make everything from mobile phones to renewable energy technology.
Trump said U.S. control of Greenland could be important for national security reasons and even suggested NATO should be involved, but Rutte demurred. Trump nonetheless noted that the U.S. already has a considerable military presence in Greenland and added, '''Maybe you'll see more and more soldiers going there'''
Trump said during the meeting with Rutte that Denmarks very far away from Greenland and questioned whether that country still had a right to claim the worlds largest island as part of its kingdom.
'''A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. And they say they have rights to it, Trump said. I dont think thats true'''
IT IS TRUE SO STOP SULKING Trumpy....
