Leader of former Danish colony, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, condemns US ‘threats’ as Nordic neighbours offer support
Greenland has urged Donald Trump to give up his “fantasies about annexation” after the US president, fresh from his military operation in Venezuela, again threatened to take over the Arctic territory.
In a bracingly direct statement, the Greenlandic prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, accused the US of “completely and utterly unacceptable” rhetoric, declaring: “Enough is enough.”
On Sunday, Trump said the US needed Greenland “very badly” – renewing fears of a US invasion of the largely autonomous island, which is a former Danish colony and remains part of the Danish kingdom. Greenland’s foreign and security policy continues to be controlled by Copenhagen.
Oh it was a fantasy and still is. They’ve removed the president, but that doesn’t stop the regime. The VP has taken power, not the US.
Yup. And our propaganda networks are not on the streets in Venezuela, but reporting that the people are okay with what the US did. Nope. I have friends in and from Venezuela, and the nation is pissed. The next us soldier that steps for on Venezuela is going to have more than the Venezuela military to fight. Everyday people are ready and willing to fight next time.
Which is why this move was always dumb af. I know Madero was a criminal, who stole their last election and was not well liked by many as I understand it, but removing him in this way only helped to rally national support for the sovereignty of the nations border. tRump has ensured the US military won’t be welcomed there by more than just the Venezuelan military and has helped shore up the regimes popularity!
