Denmark Prime Minister insisted on Monday that AE requested a firm response from its European Union partners (EU) if US President Donald Trump advances with his threat of taking control of island. “I will never support the idea of fighting allies. But, of course, if the US imposes hard on Europe, we need a collective and robust response, ”he said. The, which houses a large US military base, is a autonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime ally of Americans. Last month, Trump left the possibility of the US Army to be used to ensure control of Greenland as well as. “We need Greenland for national security reasons,” the American said.
Frederiksen said he had “great support” from his EU partners at the beginning that “everyone should respect the sovereignty of all national states in the world and that Greenland today is part of the Denmark Kingdom. It is part of our territory and is not for sale. ” She has recognized US concerns about Arctic security, where Russia and China have become increasingly active. “I totally agree with the Americans that the extreme northern, the Arctic region, is becoming increasingly important when we talk about defense, security and dissuasion,” said Frederiksen, adding that US and Denmark could have “stronger presence” in Greenland in terms of security.
“They are already there and can have more possibilities,” he said, noting that Denmark herself can also “intensify” her military presence. “If this is about ensuring the safety of our part of the world, we can find a way forward,” he said.
