"I... Rebuke That" | Greenland Minister Clashes with Republican over Trump's Plans to Own Territory

Jan 21, 2026 | Greenland’s Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, Naaja Nathanielsen, and Republican Congressman Andy Ogles, who has introduced the “Make Greenland Great Again” bill to the US Congress, debate President Trump’s aim to acquire the territory. Interview by Victoria Derbyshire.

Andy Ogles is most UNIMPRESSIVE. His arguments are WEAK. America has plenty of scope to protect itself through the existing arrangements, through NATO. NATO was formed for that reason. And if Greenland is so important to Trump, why doesn’t he just increase the US presence there. But no! Trump, as a real estate dude, wants to add Greenland to his property PORTFOLIO. At the expense of the Greenlanders and the Danes, of course. By the way, the sum of $100,000 per Greenlander in a purchase agreement is simply DERISORY. Greenlanders would have to relinquish their right to free healthcare and dental care. Free at the point of delivery. $100,000 wouldn’t take a Greenlander very far in the US healthcare casino. — © Mark Alexander
