Greenlanders tell 'absolutely insane' Trump what they really think [View all]

Nuuk: The people of Greenland have a simple message for Donald Trump: no deal.

On the streets of their capital, Greenlanders dismiss the US president’s idea of turning their land into an American territory – even if he offers cash.

“He’s insane, absolutely insane,” says Ruth Søholm, 65, a retail worker in Nuuk.

“We don’t belong to America. We are Inuit. We don’t want to be Americans.”

Trump is trying to blast through every obstacle to achieve his dream of adding the vast Arctic territory to the US, spurning objections from Europe and letting speculation run about using force to get his way.
