Summary
Greenland’s prime minister, Múte B Egede, condemned the planned visit by Usha Vance, Mike Waltz, and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, calling it “foreign interference” and urging international support against American pressure.
The visit, seen as a charm offensive amid ongoing coalition talks, sparked local outrage, with Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s Democrats, criticizing the US for disrespecting Greenland’s sovereignty.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized cooperation with the US based on respect for sovereignty.
Extra Danish police have been deployed to Greenland ahead of the visit.
Being in NATO should be the bare minimum for requirements.
NATO membership and that they will enforce paragraph 5 if it is needed. This is what talks there are atm.
But i don’t know if it is even possible to require thism they have had free access to build military bases there ever since the cold war and did not even have to tell Greenland or Denmark what they were up to. Same rules still should apply so I don’t see why they now want ownership (maybe besides greed and vanity)
I’ve been picturing that call of duty level with the white house lately. Back then I thought yeah this’ll never happen in America. And now with this fat orange demented child rapist back in power, I don’t know anymore. It’s not out of the question
