Anders Visten, a Danish member of the European Parliament, argued on CNN's “Outline” on Thursday that Greenland's indigenous people do not want it to become a US territory because it would be mistreated.
Vistisen had previously told President Donald Trump to “f–k off” in response to the idea of the United States buying Greenland.
Mr. Vistisen said: 100 years ago, we sold you what you today call the US Virgin Islands, and that territory still doesn't have voting rights in your presidential elections. There are no voting members of your Congress, your House of Representatives, your Senate, in that place. When I visited, when we had our 100th anniversary, there was no great enthusiasm about the way the US was handling it. ”
He said, “If the people of Greenland look at this carefully and look at the overseas territories of the United States, or look at how indigenous people are treated in the Americas, I hope they have something better. I think it's very difficult to make a convincing argument that the King of Denmark is. Trading from the United States than the Kingdom of Denmark, which has full voting rights in the Danish parliament, than those within the territory of Denmark, which is a country. And as you clearly stated. , they have a very economically beneficial agreement with Denmark.”
