Blinken Calls Trump's Greenland Acquisition 'Waste' of Time
Greenland,US,Donald Trump

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken dismissed President-elect Donald Trump's repeated proposals to buy Greenland, calling them a 'waste' of time and unlikely to happen. Blinken emphasized the importance of working closely with allies, pointing out that actions that may alienate them are counterproductive. Trump has claimed that Greenland, with its strategic location and rare earth minerals, is of interest to Russia and China and that its residents would benefit from becoming part of the US. However, both Greenland's and Denmark's leaders have stated that the island is not for sale.

“I think one of the basic propositions we’ve brought to our work over the last four years,” Blinken said pointedly, “is that we’re stronger, we’re more effective, we get better results when we’re working closely with our allies, not saying or doing things that may alienate them.” “Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social.Greenland could become associated with America if its residents ever voted to become independent from Denmark, which granted the island full autonomy in 2009.

“We fully recognize that Greenland has its own ambitions,” he said. “If they materialize, Greenland will become independent, though hardly with an ambition to become a federal state in the United States.”
