Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen sharply responded to Donald Trump’s recent remarks implying that the latest election outcomes in Greenland are “good” for the interests of the United States. 
Via Politico:
“It’s a misinterpretation of the Greenlandic election to conclude that we’ll have an independent Greenland tomorrow, flying a white flag that can then be painted with stars and stripes,” Rasmussen said in an interview with Danish TV 2 on Friday.
Trump made the comments during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Thursday, adding that the winning party’s leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, is “a very good person.”
Trump repeated the sentiment that annexing Greenland “will happen.”
The Demokraatit party, which won the elections this week, favors a slow move towards independence from Denmark – with its leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen telling Sky News on the eve of the election “we want to build our own country by ourselves.” “We don’t want to be Americans,” said Nielsen. “No, we don’t want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders, and we want our own independence in the future.”
Demokraatit won Greenland’s election – but where do they stand on independence and Trump?
