Greenland and its population are not up for grabs, a pro-independence lawmaker from the island, has told RT, in response to Washington\u2019s push for control over the Arctic territory.
\nKuno Fencker, a member of parliament for the Naleraq party, stressed that the \u201cpeople and country are not for sale.\u201d\u00a0
\n\u201cWe are open for business and we will never per principle accept a rhetoric that is going towards buying people or buying countries. That is absolutely unacceptable and unprecedented in 2026,\u201d he said in an exclusive interview with RT on Friday. Fencker emphasized that Greenland\u2019s red line is maintaining its sovereignty, vowing, \u201cWe will not bow under a new annexator or colonizer again ever.\u201d\u00a0
\nFencker\u2019s comments come in response to US President Donald Trump\u2019s continued push to acquire Greenland \u2013 an autonomous Danish territory \u2013 at one point suggesting it could be taken \u201cthe easy way or the hard way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
