Greenland’s Leader Stands Firm on Independence

· Leave a Comment

“Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede insisted Thursday that the island wants close ties to the U.S. and Denmark. But only to a point,” Politico reports.

Said Egede: “The Greenlandic people don’t want to be Danes. The Greenlandic people don’t want to be Americans.”

“The prime minister’s comments risk frustrating President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed interest in taking control of the strategically located and resource-rich island.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
