Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark and its foreign, defence and monetary policies are all decided in Copenhagen .

Since 1979 , Greenland has had its own prime minister who is able to govern at a local level.

Most say they don’t want to be American , and many are both worried and overwhelmed by the comments and the attention Trump 's comments have brought.

Many also see the global spotlight on them as an opportunity to promote their push for independence.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he believed Trump ’s reference to respecting Greenlanders ’ right to self-determination was the most important part of his speech.

Denmark colonised Greenland 300 years ago and still exercises control over foreign and defence policy.

But Greenland won self-rule in 1979 and runs itself through its parliament.

U.S. and other global powers covet its strategic location in the Arctic .
