Yesterday (Saturday), the Danish Foreign Minister directed a reproach for the administration of the President of the United States Donald Trump due to the “style” in his criticisms of Denmark and Greenland, stating that his country is already investing more in safety in the Arctic region and remains open to greater cooperation with the United States.
The statements of Foreign Minister Lars Luke Rasmussen arrived in a video published on social media after visiting the American vice -president JD Vans on the strategic island. However, the President of the United States has maintained the offensive style, saying in an interview with NBC: “I do not exclude the use of military force” as regards the annexation of Greenland.
“There have been many accusations and accusations,” Rasmussen said in English. We are obviously open to criticism. “He added:« But let me be completely frank: we do not prefer and I don’t like this dialect that has been used. It is not the way you talk to your close allies. I still consider Denmark and the United States closely close “, according to the Associated Press.
It is interesting to note that Greenland is the land of Denmark and is a United States ally in NATO (born). Trump wants to include these lands, claiming to be necessary for national security purposes.
In yesterday’s interview (Saturday), Trump said: “I think it is possible that we can do it without using military force”. He added: “This is world peace, this is international security”, but he added: “I don’t exclude anything from the table”.
With his wife and high American officials, the Vice -President of the United States visited the American forces in the “Petovic” satellite base in Greenland, full of minerals, on a journey that was in the end, after a sensation between the residents of Greenland and the Danish who were not consulted on the original travel route.
Luke Rasmussen, in his video, reported the 1951 defense agreement between Denmark and the United States.
The Foreign Minister said that the 1951 agreement “offers a great opportunity to the United States, to have a much stronger military presence in Greenland, and if this is what you want, let us discuss it”. Rasmussen added that Denmark has increased its investments in the defense of the Arctic.
In January, Denmark announced financial obligations for a value of 14.6 billion from Danish KRNs ($ 2.1 billion) for the safety of the Arctic, including 3 new ship ships, long -range drones and satellites.
