Speaking to reporters, Mute Egede said he was ready to talk to US President-elect Donald Trump, who has said he wants to control Greenland.
At the same time, the official emphasized that Greenland seeks independence.
This is something that everyone should respect. But this does not mean that we are severing all ties, all cooperation and all relations with Denmark
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who also spoke at a press conference, said Thursday that she had asked to meet with Trump but did not expect it to happen before his inauguration.
Greenland, home to 57,000 people, was a Danish colony until 1953 but is now a self-governing Danish territory. In 2009, it received the right to independence by voting.
We will remind
US President-elect Donald Trump is serious about buying Greenland from Denmark after his inauguration on January 20. He considers using diplomatic and economic pressure to expand US influence.
