The outgoing Prime Minister, Mute Egede, says that « contempt » for Greenland must be stopped, as the United States President says he wants the Arctic Island.
Greenland outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede has requested a stronger rejection of the local politicians of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to take care of the strategically localized islandwarning that « enough is enough. »
« This time we have to last our rejection of Trump. People cannot continue to despise, « Egede wrote on Facebook after Trump reiterated on Thursday his desire to annex the Danish autonomous territory.
« The North President -American has again evoked the idea of annexing us.
« Therefore, I have asked the administration to convene the party leaders as soon as possible. » Said EgedeHe continues to lead Greenland as he was waiting for the formation of a new government after his party’s defeat in the election on Tuesday.
Talking to the White House with NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, Trump doubled on his I wish Greenland annex – An island of 57,000 people: saying, « I think it will happen. »
« You know, Mark, we need international security, not only security, international, we have many of our favorite players who believe on the coast and we have to take care, » Trump told Rutte while they were next to the white house’s oval office for conversations.
Rutte responded by saying that he would leave the question of Greenland’s future to others, adding, « I don’t want to drag NATO » to debate. NATO’s head said it should be a topic for the « north north » countries because the Chinese and Russians use water routes in the Arctic region.
But Trump persisted, saying that Denmark refused to discuss the topic of Greenland and that he could send more North -American troops to strengthen the United States military bases on the island.
In his early stage as President of the United States from 2017-21, Trump raised the idea of buying Greenland, a Danish semi-autonomous territory, a firmly rejected idea by Denmark and Greenland.
« We have been dealing with Denmark, we have been dealing with Greenland and we have to do it, » Trump continued.
“We really need it for national security. I think this is why NATO may have to involve -in a way because we really need Greenland for national security. It’s very important, « said Trump.
Trump then went through Denmark’s demand on the island. « You know, Denmark is very far and really has nothing to do. What happens, a boat landed there 200 years ago or something?
Rutte refused to comment on the subject when a journalist asked the White House. The NATO and Denmark Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a comment request.
Danish politician Rasmus Jarlov headed to social media after Trump’s meeting with Rutte saying that Denmark did « not appreciate » NATO’s head « joking with Trump on Greenland like that ».
« It would mean the war between two NATO countries, » said Jarlov.
« Greenland has just voted against Denmark’s immediate independence and never wants to be American, » he said.
