Denmark Prime Minister says the United States is unacceptably pressuring Granelândia with the visit of the North American delegation to the island.
The next visit to Granelândia of United States, which includes the US National Security Counselor, puts “unacceptable pressure” over Denmark, the Danish Prime Minister said Tuesday.
“My reaction to the American visit is as follows: First, this cannot be seen separately from the statements and reports we hear from the Americans, here, from the beginning of January so far. Secondly, it is obvious that it is not a visit to what Greenland needs or with what Greenland wants from abroad visits. and Denmark in this situation and that we will resist such pressure.
Granelândia currently awaits the formation of a government after the 11 March legislative elections. On Facebook social network, the outgoing government indicated that “it has not sent invitations to visits, whether private or official.”
“The current executive is a outgoing government of Grolândia, awaiting the formation of a new government coalition, and we ask all countries that respect this process,” said the Groneste administration.
US National Security Counselor, Mike Waltz, will visit Grolândia this week, according to Gronese Prime Minister Mute Egede, such as US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, according to US press.
Usha Vance, a wife of US Vice President Jd Vance, will also travel with a delegation to participate in a National Trench race pulled by dogs in Sisimiut, on the northwest coast, between Thursday and Saturday, according to the White House. The program has not yet been released, but it is possible to visit the American base of Pittufik.
“Our integrity and our democracy must be respected without any external interference,” said Egede on the social network Facebook, condemning the visit.
These trips show “an inappropriate appetite by the Americans”, added Danish Diplomacy Chief Lars Løkke Rasmussen to the TV2 television chain.
“When you organize a visit like this and Gronelândia politicians say they don’t want it, you can’t interpret it as a sign of respect,” said Mete Frederiksen.
In the middle of this month, Trump stated that Granelândia’s annexation to the United States would “eventually happen” and that such integration would promote “International Security”.
Although all main parties of Grolândia are in favor of the independence of the territory of Denmark, more or less long term, none supports the idea of an annexation by Washington. Opinion polls also indicate that the population of 57,000 inhabitants is overwhelmingly against.
Granelândia, which is four times larger than France, has a strategic interest due to location – is on the shorter route for the trajectory of any missiles between the United States and Russia – and mineral riches.
