Trump effect, live today: Tensions in Iran, Venezuela and Greenland

The Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom, Yvette Cooper, and her Norwegian counterpart, Espen Barth Eide, confirmed this Thursday the support of their respective executives for the NATO surveillance mission called ‘Arctic Sentry’ to reinforce security in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Circle, amid the statements by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, on his intended annexation of Greenland – a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark– to your country. “We propose developing an Arctic Sentinel. We already have a Baltic Sentinel and an Eastern Sentinel, which is NATO’s coordination for countries to unite around specific areas, specific geography, specific threats and specific areas of the Russian threat,” Cooper said in an interview with the English newspaper ‘The Daily Mirror’, which took place during the minister’s trip to a meeting with British and Norwegian troops at Camp Viking, in Overbygd, in northern Norway. In line, he declared that “there is a broad consensus among countries on the growing and changing risks to security in the Arctic and on the need to respond collectively to them as part of the NATO alliance”, pointing, specifically, to Norway. “We want to see the same approach developed across NATO for the Arctic,” he stressed.
