Nuk, Greenland – The Danish Foreign Minister scolded the Trump administration for his “dialect” in criticizing Denmark and Greenland, saying
Foreign Minister Lars Lukik Rasmussen made statements in a video posted on social media after US Vice Vice President JD Vance to the strategic island. Later on Saturday, US President Donald Trump maintained an aggressive tone, he told NBC news that “I never brought out a military force from the table” regarding Greenland's acquisition.
“Several accusations and many allegations have been made. Of course we are open to criticism.” “But allow me to be completely honest: we do not appreciate the tone that is being delivered with. This is not the way you speak with your close allies. I still consider Denmark and the United States close allies.”
Greenland is a Denmark area, a NATO ally in the United States. Trump wants to include the region, claiming it is necessary for national security purposes.
In an interview on Saturday, Trump allowed “I think there is a good possibility that we can do this without a military force.”
“This is global peace, and this is international security, but he added:” I do not get anything out of the table. “
“I don't care” when he was asked in an NBC interview about the message he would send to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is trying to strengthen his grip on Ukrainian territory three years after his invasion.
On Friday, Vans said that Denmark was “unpleasant” in Greenland's security and called for Denmark to change her approach with Trump pushing to take over the Danish lands.
Vans visited the United States forces on the Bittivik space base in Greenland, rich in minerals, along with his wife and other senior officials of the United States on a journey that was eventually limited after a stir between Greenland and the Danish who have not been consulted around the original flight line.
“Our message to Denmark is very simple: you did not do a good job by the people of Greenland,” Vans said on Friday. “I had been extracted in the people of Greenland, and I had passed in the security architecture of this amazing, beautiful ground mass full of incredible people. This should change.”
On Friday, Trump released a video on his social networking site, entitled “American Stands with Greenland”, which shows clips of American forces there during World War II.
In Greenland, Vans said the United States “has no choice” but to take a great position to ensure Al -Jazeera security because it encouraged the batch in Greenland for independence from Denmark.
“I think they will eventually participate with the United States,” Vans said. “We can make them safer. We can do a lot of protection. I think it was much better economically better.”
The reaction of members of Parliament in Greenland and the inhabitants of this probably provided anger at the Trump administration's attempts to include the vast North Pole Island. Danish Prime Minister Metty Friedriksen prompted Verse's claim that Denmark is not doing enough to defend the Arctic, describing her country as a “good and strong ally”.
On Thursday, legislators in Greenland approved the formation of a new government, and they gathered together to resist Trump's initiatives. Four of the five parties elected to the Greenland Parliament earlier this month agreed to form an alliance that would have 23 of 31 seats in the legislative body.
The next day, Danish King Friedrich X posted on Facebook: “We live in a changing reality.
Hundreds of demonstrators showed on Saturday outside the American embassy in the Danish capital Copenhagen with some lifting signs that say, “Back Off, Usa” Danish Broad2 TV2.
Even the national race in Greenland – Avenata QIMUSSSESU – which started on Saturday with about 37 mushrooms and 444 dogs were not affected. Osha Vans, the wife of the president's deputy, who was already scheduled to attend the race, chose when her husband decided to join the trip and visit the military base instead, which reduces the possibility of crossing the paths with Greenland.
In his video clip, LØKKE RASMUSSEN, viewers of the 1951 defense agreement between Denmark and the United States. Since 1945, the American military presence in Greenland has decreased from thousands of soldiers to 17 bases and fixtures on the island, to the remote Betifik base in the northwest with about 200 soldiers today.
The Foreign Minister said that the 1951 agreement “provides a great opportunity for the United States for a stronger military presence in Greenland.” “If this is what you wish, let's discuss it.”
Läkke Rasmussen added that Denmark has increased its defense investments in the Arctic. In January, Denmark announced 14.6 billion Danish Kron ($ 2.1 billion) in the financial obligations of the Arctic Security, which covers three new naval ships, long -term drones and satellites.
