Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede expressed readiness to collaborate with the U.S. on defense and mining, emphasizing Greenland's autonomy in resource decisions. Egede's comments follow President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in controlling the territory, citing strategic and security importance. Trump previously sought to buy Greenland in 2019 and called acquisition an "absolute necessity" for U.S. security. Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen echoed the need for dialogue, acknowledging shared security concerns in the Arctic. Greenland, rich in rare earth minerals and hosting a U.S. space facility, remains a pivotal point for U.S. interests.
