Prompt Denmark: Trump's threats to Greenland are not over yet

It becomes known that his warning comes as Denmark takes on a greater role in the bloc's policy as the EU Council presidency.

“We do not consider a military annexation as something that is likely to happen. Not at all. However, it is not that we consider this case resolved”, Rasmussen said, writes euronews.

I always argued that you should take Trump seriously, but not necessarily word for word. But I also realized that these two things get closer and closer compared to his first mandate. So we take it very, very seriously. ”

Earlier this year, the American president caused shock throughout Europe when he publicly refused to rule out access to military force or economic tribulation to invade Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory that is part of Denmark's Kingdom.

The focus on Greenland stems from its rich mineral resources deposits, which are essential to the production of advanced technology, and its strategic position in the Arctic Ocean, which is expected to increase over time as climate change melts the ice.

The proposal so far has failed to convince the 56,000 citizens of Greenland: the vast majority oppose being part of the US, according to opinion polls.

Denmark, meanwhile, is presenting a new plan worth 14.6 billion chrona (1.95 billion euros) to increase military presence in Arctic and North Atlantic regions./Periscopi/
