Oslo, Jan. 8 -- U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to acquire Greenland are both offensive and disrespectful, said Avaaraq S. Olsen, mayor of Greenland's capital Nuuk, on Wednesday.

"We do not want this. We have already made our opinion known. We held the largest demonstration ever in Greenland in spring, strongly rejecting the Americans. And that is still the position of the Greenlandic people," Olsen said in an interview with CBC News, a Canadian public broadcaster, according to Danish broadcaster DR.

"We are treated like something that can be bought," Olsen said, describing widespread unease.
