Detailand: Nathanielsen’s address to London came amid Denmark’s warning that US aggression could destroy the NATO military alliance.
When asked what her message was to British politicians and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, she emphasized dialogue.
Direct speech Nathanielsen: “Insist on dialogue, even if it is difficult. Have the courage to stand up for principles and faith in international law. I think that in the coming years this issue will be before all of us.”
Details: She thanked Starmer for supporting Greenland. In turn, the British Prime Minister has already warned Trump that the future of Greenland should be determined exclusively by Denmark and Greenland itself.
However, at the same time, he is trying not to enter into a confrontation with Trump on several fronts at once — while his administration seeks to conclude a favorable trade agreement with the United States and influence the White House’s approach to peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump says control over Greenland is necessary to strengthen US security. However, the governments of the Scandinavian countries reject his claims about the active presence of Chinese and Russian vessels near Greenland waters.
According to Nathanielsen, Greenland currently does not see a “real threat”, but is positive about increased monitoring in the Arctic.
Direct speech Nathanielsen: “We have no intention of becoming Americans and are quite content to be a part of the Kingdom of Denmark.”
We will remind:
- Republican congressman Randy Fine presented in the House of Representatives of the United States is a bill entitled “Annexation of Greenland and granting it the status of a state”.
- Earlier, US President Donald Trump admitted that the US “may have to choose” between the realization of ambitions to seize Greenland and the preservation of NATO.
