Greenland's PM calls for independence from Denmark, spurred by Trump's remarks about purchasing the territory.

Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has called for independence from Denmark, spurred by US President-elect Donald Trump's comments about buying the territory. Egede emphasized that Greenland is "not for sale" and stressed the island's desire to control its own future. Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory since 1979, relies heavily on Danish annual grants and fishing. The push for independence reflects ongoing historical grievances and aims to solidify Greenland's sovereignty and economic independence.
