Greenland’s premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen has sent a blunt message to Donald Trump and his administration over their multiple takeover bids, categorically telling them that the country chooses to stay with Kingdom of Denmark. Earlier on Monday, January 12, Republican United States Representative Randy Fine introduced the ‘Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act’. If passed, the Act would make way for President Donald Trump to find means to takeover Greenland. Randy Fine said in a statement that the US is pursuing Greenland because whoever controls the country also controls key shipping lanes. “Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore….Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States.
