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.
