Denmark sent private messages to Trump team on Greenland amid 'staged' visit of Donald Trump Jr

Denmark sent private messages to Donald Trump expressing willingness to discuss Greenland as the incoming president has been speaking about taking control of Greenland. Axios reported that the Danish government wants to convince Trump, including through the messages passed to his advisers this week, that his security concerns can be addressed without claiming Greenland for the US.
The private messages came at a time when Donald Trump Jr made a visit to the island drawing the ire of Greenland's leaders who called the visit "staged". Pipaluk Lynge, an MP from Greenland’s largest party and chair of the parliamentary foreign and security policy committee, told POLITICO that Greenland wants “our own independence and democracy,” not to be beholden to the US. Don Jr landed on Greenland Tuesday but it is not known when the Denmark government reached out to the Trump team.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her Greenlandic counterpart Múte Egede met on Friday in Copenhagen to discuss the situation. Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," Egede, an advocate for independence, said at the press conference after the meeting. Frederiksen said she asked for a meeting with Trump. Egede said he is also ready to talk to the president-elect.
What was Denmark's private message?

The Danish government made it clear that Greenland was not for sale but expressed readiness to discuss any other US request regarding the island, the Axios report said.
'No journalist was allowed to interview Donald Trump Jr'
Greenland MP Pipaluk Lynge said Don Jr's day-long meeting with local residents was a stunt. “No journalists were allowed to interview him. It was all staged to make it seem like we — the Greenlandic people — were MAGA and love to be a part of the USA,” Lynge said. His welcome was not entirely warm, Lynge added. “People were curious, but some took pictures giving him [the] finger at the airport … Some wrote on Facebook: yankee go home,” she said.
