His challenging publication was permeated by sacred expressive expressions and Greenland’s flag.

Lisa Aardestrup, 18, expressed to the Associated Press that it is concerned that part of the United States may hurt the Greenland and the biological industry, which represents about 90 % of the country’s exports. “We feel it is a bad idea, and we want to be like our small island more independent than anything else,” she said.

About 56,000 people reside on the island, which is located off the northeastern coast in Canada and is closer to Washington, DC than Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
“We strongly support your right to define your future, and if you choose, we welcome you in the United States of America,” Trump announced. “We’ll keep you safe. We will make you rich. We will take Greenland together to altitudes as you haven’t thought before.”
