Another high -ranking American delegation goes to Greenland. The wife of Vice President JD Vance and the national security adviser Mike Waltz on the largest island in the world are expected on Thursday. While the Greenland’s head of the government Mute Mute Eggede is a call for the international community, Defense experts even feel reminded of “time before the Crimea -Anexion”.
“Our other allies must express their support for us clearly and unambiguously,” said Eggede of the newspaper “Sermitsiaq”. If this does not happen, “the situation will escalate from day to day and the American aggression will increase,” he warned.
Already during the weekend two American transport machines with four armored limousines had landed on the island. From Copenhagen, 40 police officers were officially flown to the island to ensure the American visit. The Danish defense expert Claus Mathiesen made a comparison before the annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula Crimea through Russia.
Prime Minister speaks about the “provocation” of the US.
“American politicians will come into a steady stream and happen that Greenland will become American. They will promise that everything will be better there”, the professor of the Royal Danish Defense Academy on X. Mathiesen’s colleague Ulrik Pram Gad agreed to this comparison with the Greenland -newspaper. “Yes, the parallel in rhetoric and methods have also been clear to me since January 7,” he said with a view to the presence of the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. On the island. “The difference is that it is difficult to imagine that it will end with someone in the conflict for Greenland.”
Eigede described the visit against the background of the annexation wishes of US President Donald Trump as “provocation”. The prime minister said the United States were able to trust the United States as allies and friends. “But this time is over – we have to acknowledge that. The new American leadership does not matter what we used to be. Now you only have the goal of taking over our country over our heads.”
Usha Vance wants to “only participate in dog sled races”
In Washington you try to trivialize the political importance of the visit and emphasize that USSha Vance will participate in a dog sled race that is financed by the US. During the visit she also wanted to celebrate ‘the long tradition of mutual respect and the cooperation between our two nations’, Vance said in a video published on Instagram. In it she said that the relationships “will become stronger in the coming years”.
The departing government of Greenland does not want to meet American representatives. Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeld criticized Trump’s words in the run -up of the visit, “that should not be used between countries that are allies”. At the same time, she tried to calm the citizens. “Instead of worrying, we must check how the opportunities that can be offered can benefit our country,” she wrote in a Facebook retention.
Greenland is located in a transition phase after the parliamentary elections of 11 March. The winners of the elections were the Democrats, an economically friendly party that supports a slow way to Greenland in the independence of Denmark. A majority of the Grölanders would vote for independence according to a recent study by the Verian Opinion Research Institute. The island has huge undeveloped mineral resources. The economy depends on fishing and subsidies from Denmark.
