Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that U.S. president Donald Trump is inactive “very serious” about Greenland's annexation, despite the fresh softening of rhetoric about the usage of military force to take over this resource-rich Arctic territory.
Trump repeatedly expressed his desire to take over the autonomous territory of Denmark, citing its strategical location and alleged threats from Russia and China – these claims were rejected by Copenhagen, Moscow and Beijing.
Although he did not initially regulation out the usage of military force, he announced a framework agreement with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte last month.
Speaking Saturday at the Munich safety Conference, Frederiksen argued that the threat was far from over, setting force on Greenland as ‘unacceptable’.
"Unfortunately, the president of the United States continues to take the substance very seriously" – said, adding that "Greenlanders have never been threatened by anyone before".
Although Copenhagen is ready to cooperate with Washington to let an expansion of military presence, Frederiksen stressed that"There are, of course, issues where there is no compromise" – specified as sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"We now have a working group.
We'll effort to find a solution... We will do everything we can, but of course there are limits that cannot be crossed.” said Marco Rubio after a 45-minute gathering with the U.S. Secretary of State on Friday.
Details of the calls have not been released.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen reiterated these concerns, calling it ‘disgusting’ The fact that Greenlandians are intimidated by a NATO member.
Frederiksen warned last period that the threat of annexation could undermine ‘All’, including a US-led military block.
French president Emmanuel Macro besides criticized Washington's position, calling it ‘Greenland moment’ proof that Trump's administration is "anti-European opening".
