President Trump restated his belief this week that Greenland will eventually become part of the United States. “I think it’ll happen,” Trump said when asked by a reporter about the possible U.S. annexation of the massive but sparsely populated Arctic island during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Thursday.

London – All five parties in Greenland’s parliament issued a joint statement on Friday rejecting President Donald Trump’s latest effort to take control of the strategic Arctic island. The statement was issued by the leaders of all five parties that won seats in parliament in an election held earlier this week.

Donald Trump has repeatedly raised the prospect of annexing Greenland and making it part of the United States. The Arctic island's politicians and residents have baulked at the idea.

Greenland rejects Donald Trump's suggestions that the United States should take over the island. The authorities have issued a joint statement on this matter, and the residents are preparing for an anti-American demonstration.
