Greenlands Prime minister made a statement, he's open to talking with Trump.

https://nypost.com/2025/01/11/us-news/greenland-leaders-ready-to-talk-with-trump/

"Greenland’s leader Múte Egede said he is prepared to enter into negotiations with President-elect Trump about the future of the mineral-rich arctic territory — but warned his people had no interest in becoming Americans."

"“We have a desire for independence, a desire to be the master of our own house … This is something everyone should respect,” he said. “Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic.”

(Context - Greenland has not been happy with Dutch rule for quite some time. There is a desire to split off from Denmark, to be sovergn.)
