Danish PM grows in the European Union visit as Greenland
Denmark Prime Minister Metet Fredericseen visited three European capitals on Tuesday, when US President Donald Trump reiterated his interest in attaining Greenland.
In place of one day, Fredericseen met with German Chancellor Olaf Sholaz in Berlin, French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and NATO leader Mark Rute in Brussels.
Although the leaders said issues including Ukraine and hybrid Russian attacks in the Baltic Sea were discussed, Danish PM’s Tornado Yatra cheated Trump’s panic felt in Denmark on repeated comments.
The Arctic Island of Greenland is an autonomous Danish dependent area.
However, Trump repeatedly indicated that he wants the US to achieve it for national security reasons – and refused to rule using military or economic force to do so. “I think we are going near it,” he said on Saturday.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Eddie – who has pushed for freedom from Denmark – stressed last week that Greenlanders “do not want to be American”.
At a news conference organized by Fredericseen and Sholaz after his meeting on Tuesday morning, neither the leader directly mentioned Greenland or Trump.
But when the need to respect the boundaries and not violate them by force is discussed, as Russia did in Ukraine, Scools emphasized that the concept applied to “all” and added to English : “That may worry.”
In Paris, Fredericseen told reporters that he had “received a lot of support” from his European colleagues and that “very, very clear message … must be respected for the sovereignty of the region and states.”
And during his final stop at Brussels, Fredericseen said that he has “no reason to believe that there is a military threat to Greenland or Denmark”.
She reiterated that she still sees America as a closest ally to Denmark, but when asked about the relationship between Europe and Trump, she replied: “I think everyone in Europe can see that that This will now be a different cooperation. “
Fredericseen and Rute agreed that colleagues needed to focus on strengthening the rescue in the Arctic, the Reuters quoted a source as saying.
While Fredericksen avoided mentioning the issue of Greenland directly, his Foreign Minister, Lax Loke Rasmusen told reporters that Trump would not have “Greenland”.
“Greenlandic people are a people who are also in the sense of international law,” Locke said.
Asked if Trump would need to “attack” Greenland to get it, Lokey said he would not instruct that Trump should “be something that he should not”, Danish media said. .
In a press release released earlier this week, the Ministry of External Affairs said that Locke had spoken to US State Secretary Marco Rubio and both decided to discuss the Arctic security between the US, Denmark and Greenland at a later date. .
Danish opposition MP MP Rasams Jarlov told the BBC that he thought that “all Americans had heard Denmark saying or not. But obviously many people in America think that Greenlanders want to become American – or that they This can be purchased to agree. “
He said: “Many Greenlanders dream of freedom from Denmark. But if it happens, it is not with the intention of becoming Americans after independence … It will never be American.”
On Monday, Denmark said it will spend 14.6BN Croner (£ 1.6bn; $ 2.05bn) to promote security in the Arctic region, Greenland and Farrow Islands, in partnership with its other autonomous region.
