Greenland's prime minister speaks somewhat more optimistic about open dialogue with the United States, which has shown interest in controlling the Arctic island but clearly reiterated the stance that “Groenland is neither bought nor sold”.
The head of the Greenland government also said it expects “concrete results” from talks that have started with the US.
“Dialogue has begun and Naakakkersuisut (The government of Greenland) will work decisively to achieve concrete results”, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen declared himself in front of parliament.
The first working group meeting on the Greenland issue was held on January 28th in Washington, with the participation of senior officials from Denmark, Greenland and the United States.
A day later, Denmark's Foreign Minister, Lars Lékke Rasmussen, said the meeting “went well, in a very constructive climate and way”.
“I'm a little more optimistic today ( Thursday) compared to a week ago”He said it.
According to Nielsen, who along with Danish prime minister has met with the leaders of France and Germany, talks with the Trump administration will take place in parallel with strengthening the <x0dialogue closely with Western countries” and co-operation with the European Union.
We are not alone and we are protected. All EU countries support us”, he stressed.
He recalled once again, like every time President Trump's proposal for taking control of this autonomous territory of Denmark, that “Groenland is neither bought nor sold”
Both Denmark and Greenland oppose any form of transfer of sovereignty.
Negotiations between Denmark, Greenland and the United States are under way after Trump declared he would not use military forces to take over the Arctic island, which is part of NATO.
The American president's threats regarding Greenland have caused one of the most serious crises in the history of the Atlantic Alliance since its founding in 1949.
However, the American leader said he had agreed to a <x0-currise” aimed at reaching an agreement with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, within the framework of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. So far, very few concrete details have been made public for its contents. /Panorama/ Periscopi/
