The Danish government says US President Donald Trump will increase military spending in the North Atlantic in bidding that Greenland will sell or collect it to the United States.
Later on Monday, the Danish government agreed with the Greenland government and the parties, including the Pero Islands, agreed with a 14.6 billion units (or nearly $ 2 billion) to “improve local surveillance and sovereignty.”
The Pentagon of Copenhagen said it would include three new Arctic Navy ships, two additional long distance surveillance drones and satellite capacity.
On Tuesday, Danish Prime Minister Met Frederiksen traveled to several European capitals, including Berlin, Paris and Brussels, and met NATO Secretary -General Mark Route.
Danish lawmakers say ‘F– OFF’ for Greenland bidding to Trump
Fred Ricksen warned that Europe was faced with “more uncertain reality,” and that her country would strengthen the military beings around Greenland.
This trip comes after Trump repeatedly presented Greenland’s various statements comparable to US and economic security interests and expressed interest in purchasing in Denmark. Trump said he would not even exclude the military power to control the territory of the island.
Frederick Sen did not directly mention Trump’s threat at a meeting with German Prime Minister Olaf School, but “we are facing more uncertain and more cooperation with more Europe.”
The EU military director would be reasonable to place European troops in Greenland, WELT reported.
She pointed out Ukraine and Russian activities beyond that, and “Defining the future of our continent depends on Europe, and I think we need to take more responsibility for our own security.”
The Danish Defense Ministry said it agreed to negotiate a second agreement in the first half of this year in a presentation of the Arctic and the North Atlantic regions.
Defense Minister Lund Poulsen said, “We must face the fact that we have serious challenges about the security and defense of the Arctic and North Korea.” “For this reason, we must strengthen our existence in this area.”
His ministry said that investments ensure that they support the local jobs and businesses of the Greenland and the Ferro Islands.
