America\u2019s president says taking control of the island is a matter of \u201cnational security\u201d for Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has urged Washington to stop threatening a “historically close ally,”<\/em> after President Donald Trump suggested Copenhagen cannot properly manage and protect the island from Russian and Chinese threats. Greenland is an autonomous territory within Denmark.<\/p>\n

“We do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defense,”<\/em> Trump told The Atlantic on Sunday, noting that it was up to others to decide the wider implications of US military action in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

In response, Frederiksen said “the US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish Kingdom.”<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

“I would therefore strongly urge the US to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale,”<\/em> she told the media.<\/p>\n

Ex-Trump staffer hints at US plans to annex Greenland<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump first proposed buying Greenland in 2019, a plan swiftly rejected by Copenhagen and Greenland’s authorities. Since returning to office last year, he has revived the idea, even hinting at the possible use of force.<\/p>\n

Denmark has responded by strengthening Arctic defenses and expanding military and civilian monitoring, viewing the pressure as a direct threat to its sovereignty.<\/p>\n

“You know what Denmark did basically, to boost up security in Greenland? They added one more dog sled,”<\/em> Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One later in the day, claiming that the island is “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships”<\/em> and that Copenhagen can’t handle the “threat.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And the European Union needs us to have it, and they know it,”<\/em> he stated, adding, “<\/em>let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”<\/p>\n

Tensions over Greenland have continued to rise in recent weeks. In December, Trump appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who has openly backed incorporating Greenland into the US, as a special envoy to the autonomous territory, prompting Copenhagen to summon the US ambassador for an explanation.<\/p>\n

After the US launched a controversial military operation in Venezuela on Sunday, a former Trump administration official, Katie Miller, suggested in a cryptic social media post that Washington will “soon”<\/em> take over Greenland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
