"I think it's not the things he [US President Donald Trump] had to do today about Greenland, because Greenland is not for sale and it's very hard for Greenlanders and both Danish citizens in Greenland and in the Kingdom in Denmark," Ottosen said.
According to him, pressure from the United States is causing serious anxiety among the island's residents, many of whom fear that Greenland could fall under external control. He noted that despite friendly relations with the US and the existence of a free trade agreement, such statements undermine Greenland's sense of security.
Ottosen added that Greenland's future must be determined solely by Greenlanders themselves, not by external forces, and that any decisions must take into account the interests of the indigenous population.
Greenland is part of the Danish Kingdom. However, Trump has repeatedly stated that it should join the US, arguing the islands' strategic importance for national security. Danish and Greenlandic authorities have warned Washington against seizing the island, noting that they expect their territorial integrity to be respected.
