Greenlanders react to Donald Trump’s interest in taking control of island | BBC News


In recent weeks, US President-elect Donald Trump has shown renewed interest in taking control of Greenland, a largely autonomous territory of Denmark in the Arctic and the world’s largest island.

When asked if he would rule out using military or economic force in order to take over the island, as well as the Panama Canal, he responded: "No, I can’t assure you on either of those two.

"But I can say this, we need them for economic security," he told reporters during a wide-ranging news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last week.

So, how do people living in Greenland feel about Trump’s plans?
