Greenlandic party leaders call Trump’s behavior “Unacceptable”

In a joint statement, the leaders of the five parties elected to the Greenlandic parliament Inatsisartut have labeled the behavior of US President Donald Trump as “unacceptable”.

The statement comes after Donald Trump once again spoke about Greenland. On Thursday, when asked by a journalist if the US would annex Greenland, he responded, “I think it will happen.”

In their joint statement, the leaders of Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut, and Atassut wrote:

“We – all party leaders – cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation and control of Greenland. As party leaders, we find this behavior unacceptable towards friends and allies in a defense alliance.
As the leaders of all parties in Inatsisartut in Greenland, we must emphasize that Greenland will continue its work for Greenland, which is already ongoing through diplomatic channels in accordance with international laws and rules.

We all stand behind this effort and firmly oppose attempts to create division. Greenland is one country, and we all stand united behind it.”
