“This designation confirms America’s continued interest in Greenland. However, we insist that everyone, including the United States, must respect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Rasmussen said.
Prehistory:
- US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he was appointing Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland.
- Since Trump took office, relations between Denmark and the US have become strained. It comes as Trump expressed his desire to seize Greenland, the resource-rich Danish territory in the Arctic, citing “security considerations”.
- Both Denmark and Greenland insist that the island is not for sale and that it will decide its own future.
- Denmark’s military intelligence service recently characterized the US as a potential security threat for the first time, citing Trump administration policies.
