Greenland is looking to strengthen its defence and mining ties with the US, its prime minister has said.<\/p>\n

It comes after president-elect Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong> repeated an idea of acquiring the strategically important and mineral-rich Arctic island which he said was an “absolute necessity”.<\/p>\n

Mute Egede said his government was looking for ways to cooperate with the US and that it was ready to start a dialogue with Mr Trump’s incoming administration.<\/p>\n

However, he said it would be up to it to decide how it should proceed.<\/p>\n

When asked at a news conference in the capital Nuuk on Monday about expanding US military capabilities on the island, Mr Egede said: “Greenland’s independence is Greenland<\/a><\/strong>‘s business, also in relation to the use of its land.<\/p>\n

“So it is also Greenland that will decide what agreement we should come to.”<\/p>\n

Why does Trump want Greenland?<\/span>

The prime minister has summoned the leaders of Greenland’s political parties to a meeting to discuss a collective approach to the US interest.<\/p>\n

“This is the first time Greenland has been listened to in an intense way,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We need to be calm and take advantage of things and stand together.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr Trump did not rule out the potential use of military or economic means<\/a><\/strong> to gain control of Greenland.<\/p>\n

But vice president-elect JD Vance dismissed the use of military force in an interview with Fox News.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
