#Trump for months has insisted that the US should control #Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of #NATO ally #Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland,” he said Friday, without providing details. “We need Greenland for national security.”

After high-level meeting: Danish PM says US ambition to take Greenland 'remains intact'

> Washington’s ambition to take control of Greenland remained intact, Denmark said on Thursday, as a European military mission arrived on the mineral-rich strategic Arctic island, drawing a sharp rebuke from Russia.

> The developments came a day after a high-level meeting at the White House failed to resolve “fundamental disagreement” over Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory that President Donald Trump has repeatedly said Washington needs to seize to ensure US security.

"Since the 1990s, the #US has shut down its own bases in #Greenland. It's not us that have created the situation where their presence has been only up in the Thule airbase. So the United States is solely responsible for this. We haven't done anything against them

…all of us in the #Arctic must be ready for anything. And I'm sure that #Denmark and #Canada are talking to each other very closely. We are in a dangerous, very dangerous, situation right now"

"It's ridiculous for us, from here, to see what's going on. We are not an enemy. We have been friends with the United States for 80 years, at least. What's going on here? If they want anything with #Greenland, why don't they talk to the Danish and Greenlandic governments, instead of using their #socialMedia to do everything? I think we have a very serious problem, and we need #Canada's support"

#AqqalukLynge, cofounder of Greenland independence party #InuitAtaqatigiit, loudly reminds the world that his homeland is a free and self-governing territory

"It’s really frustrating for us. What do you do with friends that are no longer friends? I don't know"

Whatever issues the Inuit have with #Copenhagen obviously #US #imperialism is far worse

Trump aide Stephen Miller:

“The real question is what right does Denmark have to assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?”

Well, maybe the Lansing declaration?

#Greenland, the world's largest island with a population of 57,000 people, is not an independent member of #NATO but is covered by #Denmark's membership of the Western military alliance, of which the #US is also a member.

"If the #UnitedStates attacks another NATO country, everything stops," Frederiksen said.

#Trump #MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #LandGrab #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also addressed #Trump's comments: "Unfortunately, I think the American president should be taken seriously when he says he wants #Greenland," she told public broadcaster DR. "I have made it very clear where the Kingdom of #Denmark stands, & Greenland has repeatedly said that it does not want to be part of the #UnitedStates."

#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #LandGrab #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

#Greenland is telling its citizens not to fear an imminent #US takeover following renewed interest in the Arctic island by #Trump.

European powers rallied behind Greenland Monday, after the US #military operation in which #Venezuela's leader was seized, rekindling concerns that the island, an autonomous territory of #Denmark, might face a similar scenario.

🇺🇸 Sometimes feels to me like there is no real EU foreign-policy thread, just what the US wants & how much of it the #US gets.

If you are reliant on 1 partner, you become dependent:

☑️ Military presence¹
☑️ No 1 trading partner²
☑️ Main energy supplier³
☑️ Nuclear weapons stationed⁴
...

Meanwhile the #USA threatens the EU's very integrity (even if #Greenland is de-facto not a member, #Denmark is), the #EU answers with more reliance.³

How about some 🇪🇺 independence instead?⁵

“It is not as if there is an abundance of special envoys,” Dr. Olesen said. “So when one is appointed with the purpose of asserting control over #Greenland, it signals that Greenland is very much in focus at the highest level.”

…Danish ofcls & analysts said that while the #US has previously appointed envoys for the entire #Arctic region, Landry would be the first special envoy just for #Greenland.

Mikkel Runge Olesen, a snr researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, described the move as a “significant escalation” by #Trump, who has threatened to acquire Greenland through a financial transaction or #military #force several times….

#geopolitics #Denmark #imperialism #greed #ClimateChange

The appointment of a special envoy for #Greenland could put pressure on Howery, a former executive at #PayPal who is considered close to #Trump. In November, Howery dodged a question from journalists about whether the United States would ever take Greenland by #force, but he pledged cooperation.

#geopolitics #Denmark #US #imperialism #greed #NaturalResources #ShippingLanes #ClimateChange

The Danish government has twice this year summoned #US diplomats to complain about reports that the United States was spying & running a covert influence campaign in #Greenland. Earlier this month, in a first for the Danish government, Denmark’s #military #intelligence said that shifts in US policy were generating new uncertainties for Denmark’s security.

#geopolitics #Denmark #Trump #imperialism #greed #NaturalResources #ShippingLanes #ClimateChange

“We decide our future ourselves,” Nielsen said.

Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Denmark’s foreign minister, told Danish television on Monday that he was “deeply upset” by Trump’s announcement & that he planned to summon Ken Howery, who became the American ambassador to #Denmark in October.

“You cannot annex other countries,” #Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen & #Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement on Monday. “Not even by invoking international security. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, & the #UnitedStates must not take over Greenland.”

Nielsen added in a statement on FB that the appointment “may sound big,” but “doesn’t change anything for us at home.”

#geopolitics #Trump #imperialism #greed #NaturalResources #ShippingLanes #ClimateChange

#JeffLandry quickly made it clear that he understood what #Trump wanted from him, writing on X: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make #Greenland a part of the #US.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that “Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security.”

But the appointment drew condemnation from Greenland & further deteriorated the relationship between the US & #Denmark, which used to be close allies.

#geopolitics #imperialism #greed

#Denmark & #Greenland on Monday reacted with anger to Trump’s appointment of a special envoy to Greenland, as he intensifies his efforts to take over the semiautonomous Danish territory.

#Trump announced Sunday he was appointing Louisiana Gov #JeffLandry, a political ally, to the position. Denmark’s foreign minister quickly criticized the move as “totally unacceptable” & said he would summon the #US ambassador in Copenhagen for an explanation.
