Greenland PM reiterates ‘we are not for sale’ after Trump suggests US ownership

US president-elect raises issue of control of Denmark territory five years after proposing to buy it during first term

Greenland’s elected leader said the gigantic Arctic island is not for sale after Donald Trump once again raised the issue of “ownership and control” of the vast territory that has been part of Denmark for more than 600 years.

“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, said in a written comment.
