The Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute B. Egede, has announced plans to foster closer ties with the United States, emphasizing the Arctic island’s aspirations for independence. The statement follows recent remarks by President-elect Donald Trump, reiterating his interest in acquiring Greenland, currently a self-governing territory of Denmark with a population of 57,000.

Strengthening U.S.-Greenland Relations

At a press briefing in Nuuk, Egede expressed openness to collaboration with the incoming U.S. administration. “We have started a dialog and seek opportunities for cooperation with Trump,” he stated, as reported by local broadcaster KNR.

Egede also highlighted Greenland’s readiness to engage in economic partnerships, particularly in mining. “We have the doors open in relation to mining,” he said. “This will also be the case in the coming years. We have to trade with the US.”

The island’s vast natural resources, including gold, diamonds, uranium, and rare earth metals vital for electronic devices, enhance its strategic value.
