You sabi wether na joke or serious matter? But no be only Trump dey talk, o! The five main parties for Greenland don gather body come blow trumpet say dem no want any American wahala. Dem say na dem go decide wetin go happen for their land!
As e be so, Greenland wey dey under the Kingdom of Denmark don always dey important since World War II, when American soldiers sabi how to guard am from Nazi Germany. But now, dem dey talk say as climate change dey push ice go every side, e don open door for many countries wey wan dig mineral resource wey dey Greenland.

When Trump don yarn for White House, e no care about wetin Denmark go talk. Him dey fear say if U.S. no take control, China or Russia go chop Greenland like suya! E don talk say if dem no do am ‘the easy way’, dem go do am ‘the hard way’. Abeg, no be so we go settle matter o! Denmark don already tell am say this territory no dey for sale.
