00:00
Does Greenland want to be absorbed into the United States?
00:03
No, but we want to cooperate with the United States closer, and what is non-negotiable
00:09
here is that Greenland wants to become a sovereign state, member of the UN and other international
00:16
organizations, but we are fully aware that we need to cooperate with a bigger state.
00:25
It could be Denmark.
00:26
We have talked with Denmark in regards to a more equal cooperation, but it seems to
00:34
not go that way, and we are in a way thankful of Donald Trump's connection to Greenland
00:42
and his communication in regards to Greenland, and he wants to protect the Arctic and the
00:47
world for security, and that is some positive things that we hear.
00:56
The only thing that we don't want in Greenland is that we don't want to be owned by any other
01:03
state.
01:04
Denmark annexed us in 1953, and we don't want to be annexed again, so we want a free and
01:11
democratic referendum for Greenland's independence and statehood, but we are not naive, and we
01:20
of course need to cooperate with the United States and Denmark and even other allies.
