Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede has expressed readiness to hold talks with President-elect Donald Trump over the president-elect’s expressions of interest in acquiring Greenland on the premise of security imperatives for the United States and its allies.

Egede made the remark during a joint news conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Jan. 10. The prime minister of Greenland said he had not yet spoken with Trump regarding the president-elect’s overtures about the United States assuming control of the Arctic island, by military force if necessary.
