US President Donald Trump on Friday said the US must own Greenland, an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark, to prevent Russia or China from occupying the strategically located and minerals-rich territory. “We emphasize once again our desire for the US contempt for our country to end,” the Greenlandic party leaders said. A 3D-printed miniature of US President Donald Trump and the Greenland flag are pictured on Friday. Greenland’s parliament last met in November last year and had been scheduled to meet again on Feb. 3, according to its Web site. There is no sum of money from Trump that would persuade Greenlanders to join the US, two Greenlandic lawmakers said.
