Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal
I have to say, I think it's actually very offensive. Maybe Trump is actually quite transparent in what he's doing, but it's not OK the way he does it. He sees it just as a place where he can go and he can do whatever he wants, but there's the people living here. 56,000 people he's living in, of course, it's up to the Greenlanders. What do we want to do up here? That's not up to him to decide.

Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal
It's important to say, as it is now, there's a commonwealth between Denmark, Faroe Island and Greenland. And it's up to Greenland if they want to develop as an independent country in the commonwealth or leave the commonwealth. It's not up to America, it's not up to Denmark. Akka, what do you want for the future of your land?

Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal
I grew up in Denmark, obviously, been living in Greenland for 16 years. So I love Greenland and I also love the Danish king and I'm very loyal to the royal family. If Donald Trump comes with an offer, then Denmark maybe should come with a better offer.

Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal
The king, he understands what Greenland is and he has been here a lot of time. The majority of the Danes, they know there's something called Greenland. They know it's up there somewhere in the north. But the Commonwealth doesn't mean that much to Danes in their daily life as it does up here because we are kind of the little brother in this game.
