Reprojecting and rotating a map of a simple feature from rnaturalearth?

General

Hi, I am trying to make a map of Greenland that best represents the area without distortion. So far I have chosen EPSG:3573 and I have transformed the Greenland simple feature using st_transform(). My question is now that I have changed the projection, can I somehow "rotate" Greenland so north is up (like in the original) but keeping the undistorted version?

I'd really appreciate any advice!

library(ggplot2)
library(sf)
library(rnaturalearth)
library(rnaturalearthhires)
library(rnaturalearthdata)

gl<-ne_countries(country="Greenland", scale="large",returnclass="sf")

#default
a<-ggplot(data=gl)+
geom_sf()
a

#transform
rp_gl <- st_transform(gl, 'EPSG:3573')

b<-ggplot(data=rp_gl)+
geom_sf()
b
