Greenland's political leaders have united in rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump's assertions of needing to control the island, stating emphatically, "We do not want to be Americans, we do not want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," according to aa and indiatimes.

Trump has repeatedly indicated that if the U.S. does not take action regarding Greenland, Russia or China might exploit the situation, asserting, "We're not going to have Russia or China occupy Greenland," as reported by ABC News and Channel News Asia.

In light of Trump's threats, Greenland's parliament, the Inatsisartut, plans to expedite discussions about the future of the territory, highlighting the need for decisions made by Greenlanders alone as outlined by Los Angeles Times and Reuters.

Polling indicates that a significant majority of Greenlanders oppose the idea of U.S. acquisition, asserting their strong desire for independence and self-governance, a stance reaffirmed by Indiatimes and Al Jazeera.
