Additionally, it was reported on Monday that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed her willingness to allow the United States to expand its military presence in Greenland.
According to The Telegraph, Denmark is trying to calm an escalating crisis brought on by Donald Trump’s desire to purchase Danish-controlled landmass on national security grounds. The U.S. president has said that he has not ruled out military or economic coercion in order to impose rule over the island.
At a meeting of the EU in Brussels, Frederiksen said,” I completely agree with the Americans that the High North, the Arctic region, is becoming more and more significant as we talk about defense, security, and deterrence.” Additionally,” And it is possible to find a way to ensure stronger footprints in Greenland.”
So much winning. Additionally, Trump has only been in office for a short while.
