The reporter asked a lady who is a member of the parliament there about Trumps desire to acquire her country. The member said Please dont take us. We can come to an agreement the will be mutual beneficial to both our countries.
That depressed the hell out of me. No way in hell should Greenland even consider making any deals with Trump, let along talk to that lunatic. 🥶

LONDON (AP) Greenlandic lawmakers on Thursday agreed to form a new government, banding together to resist U.S. President Donald Trumps efforts to annex the Arctic island, local media reported.
Four of the five parties elected to Greenlands parliament earlier this month have agreed to form a coalition that will have 23 of 31 seats in the legislature. The agreement is set to be signed Friday, the newspaper Sermitsiaq reported, citing Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the Demokraatit, the biggest party in parliament.
The agreement comes as Trump ramps up his effort to gain control of Greenland one way or the other. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to arrive Friday in Greenland, where he will visit Americas Pituffik Space Base, which supports missile surveillance and missile defense operations.
After his center-right partys surprise victory in the March 11 election, Nielsen said he wanted to form the broadest coalition possible to help resist U.S. pressure. The final agreement excludes only one party, Naleraq, which left the coalition talks on Monday.
