MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov when asked to comment on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks about acquiring Greenland said on Tuesday that people of Greenland should be listened to first.
Greenland, home to 57,000 people, was a Danish colony until 1953 but is now a self-governing Danish territory. In 2009, it secured the right to claim independence through a vote.
