MOSCOW, January 12. /TASS/. Greenland seeks independence and does not wish to be part of either Denmark or United States, Russian Ambassador to Copenhagen Vladimir Barbin said in an interview with Izvestia.
"Greenland, for its part, seeks independence and states that it does not want to remain part of Danish Kingdom in future, nor become part of United States," the diplomat said.
At same time, according to him, Greenland "is interested in closest possible relations with US, particularly in US investments needed to ensure sustainability of island’s economy."
On December 21, Trump appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as US Special Envoy for Greenland.
After his designation, Landry announced on X that he would seek to annex island to United States. This sparked a diplomatic scandal in Denmark, prompting US ambassador to be summoned to the Foreign Ministry.
