How did the head of the Greenlandic government react to Trump's comments?
— No one will fight with the United States for the future of Greenland, Miller replied when asked whether he ruled out using military force to take control of the island. — We live in a world, a real world, ruled by force and power […] These are the iron laws of this world from the beginning of time, he added.
Donald Trump has a plan for Greenland
In the conversation, Miller also referred to the criticism that his wife, former White House assistant Katie Miller, received after her online entry about Greenland. On Saturday, shortly after the US military intervention in Venezuela, Miller published a map of Greenland covered with an American flag on X and added: “Coming soon.”
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the US needs the island for defense purposes. At the end of December, he appointed Jeff Landry as the United States' special envoy for Greenland, and he wrote on social media that his task would be to “incorporate Greenland into the US.”
The head of the Greenlandic government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said on Monday that Greenland is a nation, a country and a democracy, which should be respected especially by close and loyal friends. “When the president of the United States says, 'We need Greenland,' and connects us with Venezuela and [amerykańską] military intervention, it is not only inappropriate, it shows a lack of respect,” he wrote on Facebook. “We are part of NATO and we are fully aware of the strategic location of our country,” he noted.
