Mayor Of A Greenland Region Writes President Trump by naptu2(op): 6:01am On Jan 22
Orla Joelsen @OJoelsen

Open Letter to the President of the United States and His Administration

As Mayor of Kommune Kujalleq – the region of Greenland where the majority of the country’s rare earth elements and strategic minerals are located – I feel a clear responsibility to speak plainly and without reservation.

Greenland’s subsoil is not for sale through political pressure, dismissive rhetoric, or a lack of respect. Period.

The interest shown by you and your administration in Greenland’s resources carries obligations – not only legal, but moral and political. When Greenland, our institutions, our allies, and our people are spoken of with disregard, trust is eroded. And without trust, there is no access. Not a single gram.

As mayor, I will never accept that the citizens of my municipality should feel unsafe or uncertain about what is taking place in their own backyard – politically, economically, or in terms of security. Our land and our communities are not pieces on a great-power chessboard.

Greenland has some of the strongest and most responsible mineral resource legislation in the Nordic region. These laws exist to protect people, nature, and future generations. They will be enforced in full – regardless of who seeks to operate in Greenland, and regardless of the size or power of the nation involved. They are not subject to negotiation.

The Greenlandic people hold authority over their land and their resources. And if there is one thing your administration currently lacks in this matter, it is respect: respect for our democracy, respect for our legislation, respect for our allies, and respect for our people.

Jobs and promises of increased revenue can never be used as currency to bypass the law or the will of the people. If mining activities are not carried out in full compliance with Greenlandic law and with genuine respect for the population, there will be no mining. It is that simple.

Not a single gram of Greenland’s minerals will be extracted without order, respect, and responsibility.

Sincerely,

Malene Vahl Rasmussen
Mayor – Kommune Kujalleq – Greenland

Wow. The mayor of Greenland has spoken. I pray that trump will be diplomatic with Greenland And the people of Europe
Re: Mayor Of A Greenland Region Writes President Trump by IgOga(m): 8:31am On Jan 22
Sadly the Mayor has no say. It’s beyond her pay grade. A deal is already done.
Re: Mayor Of A Greenland Region Writes President Trump by oshokomole: 8:31am On Jan 22
Unfortunately the mayor is just a lone voice in the scheme of things. If Trump is hell bent on taking over Greenland, there is nothing she can do.

The Europeans have quickly forgotten history and are now being proud arrogant and ungrateful,trump have seen the dangerous intent of the madman Putin n he is trying to put the US in a strategic bulwark position against the Russians for interest of both the US n Europe but instead of the Europeans to see reason n tactically manoeuvre the US in they are forming nonsense, if not the US Hitler would have overran all of them especially the weakling call France,today if not for trump n the US the same Europe would have been shivering under the sneezes of the madman Putin,by the Time Trump decides to pull back the US military aid they would painfully realize the fire they are playing with.

Trump is the real grab it and run with it
Re: Mayor Of A Greenland Region Writes President Trump by Emekaonline: 8:49am On Jan 22
Some dumbo will continue to follow The bully president like sheep even though they will never take the same thing that the useless president is dishing out. Imagine some people seccede and get their own country from Nigeria and later Nigeria decides to acquire their land, how happy will they be. Ordinary political issues, they cry to UN, Europe and US. That is why good things they desire in politics will continue to elude them for many generations to come as God cannot be mocked

Hmmmmmm 🤔
I'd the world or life fair in this manner? That you have no say in a decision that greatly affects you and your family or loved ones? 🤔
