Greenland’s prime minister said he wants to communicate directly with Donald Trump’s administration as the US president ramps up pressure on Denmark to hand over control of the Arctic island.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States needs to control Greenland to ensure international security. Trump made the comments while signing executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House on the first day of his second term as president.

Qupanuk Olsen, a Greenlandic content creator who posts videos on life and culture in her home country, says "We are not for sale and no, we are not interested in becoming a state under [the] United States.

Greenland's Football Association will send a delegation to the United States next month to begin talks on entering North American soccer body CONCACAF, hoping it will boost national pride at a time of global attention.

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede firmly rejected the idea of the island being taken over by the United States. This statement came after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the President of the United States and once again expressed a desire for control over Greenland.
