Trump’s ‘Desire’ to Own Greenland Persists: Danish PM
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen says Trump's ambition to acquire Greenland remains despite eased threats amid ongoing talks on sovereignty and Arctic security.
- At the Munich Security Conference on Feb 14, Frederiksen said, `I think the desire from the U.S. president is exactly the same`, indicating Trump's persistent interest in Greenland, she said.
- Trump has argued Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and Arctic defense, citing its military infrastructure, resource wealth, and strategic competition with Russia and China.
- Following late-January talks, the US-Denmark-Greenland working group formed to address security concerns, and Frederiksen and Nielsen held a constructive 15-minute meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday.
- NATO responded by launching a mission on Feb. 11 to bolster Arctic presence, with Frederiksen warning that an attack by a NATO member would threaten alliance cohesion.
- Greenlandic leaders say Frederiksen stressed sovereignty and self-determination are non-negotiable and Denmark will uphold 'red lines' in negotiations.
