Denmark calls on the US to negotiate on Greenlandia

The Government of Denmark, together with the United States, is that the ‘status quo’ on Greenland ‘cannot continue so’, given the tension that is unleashed from the outbreak of the Ukraine war, but it is also the opinion that the conditions of the agreement in 1951 continue to grant the margin of the maneuver sufficiently. Greenland is an autonomous area of ​​Denmark and recurring objective of the Trump government, which has already played with the idea in his first mandate, as several earlier administrations have already considered (“buy” the island as a national security measure). American ambitions bump into both the historical feeling that Greenland generates in a part of the Danish population, and with the independence interests of the population of the island. All these issues have appeared again with the visit to Groenladia last Friday by the American Vice President, JD Vance, who has come to ensure that his country has ‘no choice but’ to negotiate the adhesion of the territory as soon as he becomes independent of Denmark by a referendum of self -determination. “

After an initial response from the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, this morning this morning was the turn of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who, like the leader of the government, complained “the tone” of Vance’s statements (“therefore not spoken with an upcoming ally”) before he suggests an Renegotiation, according to the Renegotiation

“(The Agreement) offers a broad opportunity for the United States to have a much stronger military presence in Greenland. If that is what we want, let’s talk about it,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs before they remember that “in 1945, the United States had 17 bases and facilities in Greenland.”
