Greenland condemn the planned visits of Usha Vens and Trump

Greenland’s politicians have condemned plans for high -profile visits to the United States, after the threat of President Donald Trump to seize the island.

This week this week will make a cultural visit, and a separate trip from Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Wals is expected.

The Prime Minister of the Greenland Mute Egege called the plan aggressive, and said the duo was not invited at the meeting. Meanwhile, the next leader on the island accused the US of showing no respect.

Greenland is the largest island located between the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean – controlled by Denmark, almost 3000 km (1860 miles), about 300 years.

It regulates its own internal affairs, but decisions on foreign and defense policy are made in Copenhagen. In the United States, he has long been engaged in security – and had a military base since World War II.

It is also believed that Trump is interested in rare land minerals on the island. His son, Donald -a junior visited Greenland before Trump’s inauguration in January.

Announcement Mrs. Vens’s visit, the White House stated that the second lady will visit historical monuments and visit the national dog Greenland Avannaata Qimussersu.

Her delegation – including her son – would be there to “celebrate the culture and unity of Greenland,” the statement said.

The Waltz trip was confirmed by the source that made the BBC NEWS with US partner. He is expected to visit Mrs. Vens and go with Energy Minister Chris Wright, The New York Times reports.

The Prime Minister, in particular, described the Valsa visit as a provocation. “What does the security advisor do in Greenland? The only purpose is to show us a demonstration of power,” he said to the newspapers Sermitsiaq.

Speaking to the same document, the next Prime Minister Jenns-Frederick Nielsen accused US officials of showing the local population.

It seems that Trump has escaped his campaign to take over the island while talking to NATO Secretary General Mark Rute earlier this month.

Greenland was already in defense of Trump’s conversation about the absorption, but he sent additional shock waves, referring to what could ask for the island with the support of NATO, whose military union is also part of.

“You know, Mark, we need for international safety … We have many our favorite players who have shrouded around the coast and we must be careful,” Trump said. “We’ll talk to you.”

When asked about the prospect of annexation, Trump said, “I think it will happen.”

This step pushed the leading political parties to Greenland to issue a joint statement to condemn the “unacceptable behavior of the US president”.

The problem was taken by the central stage in the recent election, during which the Edga Atacative Party was defeated as a result of the unexpected result of the Nielsen Democratic Party, which contributed to the gradual approach to independence from Denmark.

Earlier this month, during a speech with the US Congress, Trump said he urged Greenland’s right to determine his own future. “If you decide, we welcome you to the United States,” he said.

According to recent polls, almost 80% of the Greenlanders returned independence from Denmark. But in January, a survey proposed an even greater number rejected the idea of ​​becoming part of the United States.
