well, alex hogan is in greenland's capital, nuuk. alex joins us now. with the residents, and what are they telling you? >> reporter: hi, stuart. yeah, so a lot of mixed reaction from residents here in greenland about president-elect donald trump's comments about the island. but to set the stage and give our viewers a little insight, nuuk is the capital of greenland. this island is the largest in the world, three times larger than texas but only 57,000 people live here because most of the territory is ice. but with that ice melting, that is creating the potential for new shipping routes which world powers are looking at. this island is also a location that is very critical defensively for the u.s. in the middle of the atlantic between europe and north america. greenland is also home home to to the u.s.' northernmost military base. so the hot topic here, as you mentioned, has been those comments and, as i mentioned, a lot of mixed reaction. take a listen. >> apart from -- and also their opinion about trump. >> i hate it. basically, i don't know what hi-

nevertheless, trumpjunior�*s arrival in the capital, nuuk, prompted the danish prime minister, mettesay the autonomous territory was "not for sale". translation: greenland belongs to greenlandic _ translation: greenland belongs to greenlandic people, _ translation: greenland belongs to greenlandic people, it - translation: greenland belongs to greenlandic people, it is - to greenlandic people, it is their land, their culture and their land, their culture and their language. let me be clear — greenland is not for sale. the us is our closest ally especially in defence and security matters in the north atlantic, were tensions are rising, but greenland remains for the greenlandic people. greenland is the world's largest island — it sits between the atlantic and arctic oceans — and it's 80% covered by an ice sheet. the autonomous territory has some 56,000 residents, most of them indigenous inuit people. this was the reaction from one foreign ministry official. there have been offers from the us before in history. and there has been disputes between denmark and norway but greenland is in y

in the capital, nuuk, there's a feeling that the trump intervention has brought world attention to greenland'stism. a desire for strong links and financial help from america and denmark. donald trump is a politician. he's a hard businessman and we know his rhetoric. and that rhetoric is something we have gotten used to since 2019. but what is necessary here is that greenland, as a sovereign state, should negotiate directly with the united states and not denmark. newsreel: the eskimo are very primitive, and the danish - government is doing its best to keep civilisation from spoiling them. to understand what greenlanders feel about the colonial past, it's important to know about racism and abuses. ..when a ship comes in. hedvig frederiksen was only iii when danish officials fitted her with a contraceptive coil without her permission in the 1970s. she's one of over 100 women suing denmark for its efforts to limit greenland's population. translation: it was i a very awful experience. i was still a child. it wasjust awful. i think the danish people looked down on us, - especially back then. what do

and in many ways that will be the most important referendum or election in nuuk. greenlandic times. so of course this is going to be very interesting. i don't have that many concerns i will have. i have some concerns whether people are just scared of what is happening. we're seeing that some people are even talking about moving away from greenland. if that is going to happen. so. so i think this is, not something that is going to happen. i think there will there might be a referendum about whether we should have independence or not, but i think it should be based on facts. it should be based on what kind of agreements can we have. so i think in many ways we won't necessarily see a change when it comes to the realm. we'll see a change when it comes to a closer collaboration between greenland, u.s. when it comes to business development and even, uh, defense, i would say, is an area that we could maybe collaborate a little bit more on. so i think extracting rare earth would be interesting for us. having more tourism, which is, you know, it's quite interesting actually. the trump jr. is
