Pro-independence lawmaker Kuno Fencker told RT that sovereignty is an absolute red line for the islanders
Greenland and its population are not up for grabs, a pro-independence lawmaker from the island, has told RT, in response to Washington's push for control over the Arctic territory.
Kuno Fencker, a member of parliament for the Naleraq party, stressed that the "people and country are not for sale."
"We 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," he said in an exclusive interview with RT on Friday. Fencker emphasized that Greenland's red line is maintaining its sovereignty, vowing, "We will not bow under a new annexator or colonizer again ever."
Fencker's comments come in response to US President Donald Trump's continued push to acquire Greenland - an autonomous Danish territory - at one point suggesting it could be taken "the easy way or the hard way."
This week, Trump announced that a "framework" for a Greenland deal, negotiated with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, is now on the table and would provide the US with "all the military access we want." The deal would reportedly grant the US "sovereign base areas" on the island and fast-track rights to mine rare-earth minerals.
