The wife of the ultranationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller has unleashed a diplomatic friction with Denmark by publishing on her X account a map of , a territory that has become the ambition of the North American president, Donald Trump, with a threatening message: “Pronto“and under the American flag.
Although she has now taken a backseat, Katie Miller has played prominent roles during Trump’s first term, when she served as communications director for the Vice President and even served as spokesperson for the former Department of Government Efficiency championed by magnate Elon Musk.
Miller’s message has arrived just after the US operation in Venezuela that concluded with the capture of the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, interpreted as an example of the extremely aggressive North American foreign policy. In the case of Greenland, to return to the topic, it has recently appointed a special envoy for the island, which is part of Denmark, in a new effort to take over this strategic autonomous territory.
The Danish ambassador to the US, Jesper Moller Sorensen, has protested Katie Miller’s message with a “kind reminder” about the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark. “We are close allies and we must continue working together as such. The security of the United States is also the security of Greenland and Denmark,” the diplomat indicated on the map published by Miller.
“Greenland is already part of NATO. The Kingdom of Denmark and the United States collaborate to guarantee security in the Arctic, and the Kingdom of Denmark has significantly intensified its security efforts in the Arctic,” he added before adding what he expects from the US, “full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark”.
