Greenland and Denmark agreed to strengthen their ties in response to interest in the interests of US President Donald Trump in obtaining control over the strategically located Arctic Island.
This was declared by their leaders after negotiations in the capital of Denmark Copenhagen, reports today, April 27, Reuters.
It is noted that the new Grandland Prime Minister Jens Frederick Nielsen, on April 26, arrived in Copenhagen with a three-day visit, demonstrating the unity between the island, which is the semi-autonon of the Danish territory and Denmark.
We are in such an external political situation, which means that we should get closer to each other, ”Nielsen said to a joint press conference with the prime minister of Denmark Matte Fredericksen.
After several months of tension from Trump’s repeated statements that Greenland should become part of the United States, after several months of tension, made a visit to Nielsena.
The leaders of Denmark and Greenland said that only the Greenlanders can decide the future of this territory. Nevertheless, they were on the subtle border between the decisive rejection of US ambitions on the annexation of Greenland and the efforts to maintain good relations with their traditional ally.
We are ready for a solid partnership (from the USA) and more development, but we want respect … We will never be an object of property that can be purchased by anyone,-Sale Nielsen.
He also noted that the expansion of the US Consulate in Nuuuk, the capital of Greenland, which was agreed before Trump’s accession, is concerned among the population of the island.
Nielsen did not confirm and did not test when he was asked if he was in contact with the US administration after joining the message at the beginning of this month.
The warming of relations between Nuuk and Copenhagen occurred after the previous Prime Minister Greenland accused Denmark of the historical “genocide” of Grenland, and in January increased the pressure on independence from Denmark.
Fredericksen said that Denmark was ready to invest more in Grenland and maintain it financially, since she took great responsibility for internal affairs by Copenhagen as part of what she called the “modernization” of their relationship.
Previously, Denmark called for an increase in cooperation with the United States in the field of Arctic defense. Both Nilsen and Fredericksen today said that they were dedicated to strengthening protection in the region.
