US President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about the security and geopolitical importance of Greenland in a statement regarding the issue. He stated that if the US does not take an active stance on this matter, Russia and China could expand their influence in the region.
The editorial reports that US President Donald Trump said he does not fully trust Denmark's ability to defend Greenland alone. According to him, Copenhagen's additional patrol measures, including the deployment of additional dog sled teams, cannot be considered sufficient in the face of real security challenges.
During the statement, journalists raised the possibility that the US could acquire Greenland by force. US President Donald Trump, however, emphasized that he did not directly voice this idea, did not take a concrete stance on future steps, and said that his decisions have not yet been announced.
During the press conference, it was recalled that Denmark fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the US in Afghanistan. US President Donald Trump noted that he took this information into account and stated that Denmark had fulfilled its alliance obligations in the past.
