Greenland criticized Trump's call for U.S. control over the island

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede criticized the call of US President-elect Donald Trump to establish control over the island. Reuters reported on December 23 that.

"Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale," Egede stated.

He added that Greenland should not lose in its long struggle for freedom.

The day before, Trump, announcing the appointment of an ambassador to Denmark, emphasized that for the US "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." The American politician expressed interest in buying Greenland from Denmark back in 2019. At that time, he was turned down.

On December 22, Trump announced that the US will demand the return of control over the Panama Canal if the terms of its use are not revised. Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino said it was impossible to return the canal to US ownership.

In addition, on December 10, Trump said that Canada and Mexico could become US states. After that, on December 17, the media reported that Canada would spend $900 million to secure the border with the United States.
