NATO BACK GREENLAND
Final week, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK issued a joint statement with Denmark to point out their backing for Copenhagen and Greenland towards Trump.
“On the premise of the very optimistic declaration from the six NATO member states relating to Greenland, the Authorities of Greenland will intensify efforts to make sure that the defence of Greenland is carried out inside NATO,” Monday’s assertion stated.
“Greenland will at all times be a part of the Western defence alliance,” the federal government added.
Denmark and different European allies have voiced shock at Trump’s threats over the strategic island, which has been residence to a US navy base since World Conflict II.
A Danish colony till 1953, Greenland gained residence rule 26 years later and is considering ultimately loosening its ties with Denmark. Polls present that Greenland’s folks strongly oppose a US takeover.
