News24 | 'Uneasy' Europe warns Trump over Greenland ambitions
Wednesday, 8 January 2025 () European leaders on Wednesday warned Donald Trump against threatening "sovereign borders" after the US President-elect refused to rule out military action to take Greenland.
President-elect Donald Trump’s interest in buying Greenland mirrors the U.S. acquisition of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million. While the Alaska deal faced criticism, it proved successful after the Klondike Gold Strike. Trump’s proposal would require negotiations with Denmark and compensation for Greenland’s 57,000 residents. The last U.S. territory purchase was in 1917 with the Danish West Indies, and acquiring Greenland would likely involve economic incentives or treaties.

Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland, emphasizing that the Arctic territory belongs to its people. Trump's plan to acquire Greenland—reigniting his 2019 suggestion—has been met with strong opposition from Greenland’s pro-independence leader, Mute Bourup Egede, who reiterated that the island’s future should be determined by Greenlanders alone. Frederiksen backed Egede's stance, asserting that while Denmark values its relationship with the U.S., Greenland's self-determination and sovereignty are non-negotiable.

Canada has strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could "buy" Canada, instead offering a bold and humorous counter-proposal: “How about we buy Alaska?” Ontario Premier Doug Ford, in a lighthearted remark, made it clear that Canada would never fall under U.S. control, dismissing Trump’s comments as jokes. Ford, in a public statement, emphasized the importance of Canada maintaining its sovereignty, stressing that the relationship between the two nations should focus on resolving trade issues through dialogue rather than drastic measures like annexation.
