Greenland official calls it 'unfathomable' US considering taking over island

London,

Jan 13 (AP) A senior Greenland government official says it’s “unfathomable” that the United States is discussing taking over a NATO ally, and urged the Trump administration to listen to voices from the Arctic island nation.

Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland’s minister for business and mineral resources, said people in Greenland are “very, very worried” about the US rhetoric.

“People are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days. And we can’t really understand it,” she said Tuesday at a meeting with lawmakers in Britain’s Parliament.

She said “it is just unfathomable to understand” that Greenland could be facing the prospect of being sold or annexed. (AP) GSP
