Bulletproof cars on Nuke’s runway have taken President Donald Trump’s obsession with Greenland to a new, dangerous stage with Greenland.

US National Protection Advisor, Co-President’s Wife, Energy Secretary and Other Officers must have reached a “at the end of this week”Personal philosophy“To see the competition of national dogs on geo -politically important islands. North north of a trip to US military bases Greenland Most likely.

This is an explanation that is not accepting Denmark, someone or its current ruler of Greenland. Surprise and surprise Trump’s repeated interest In this huge frosty Arctic Landmay, only 57,000 people’s habitat has given way to both Nook and Copenhagen – as well as fear.

“What is happening now reminds him of the time before the Crimea attachment,” Former Ukraine’s military attachment Claus Mathessen said, “Now the Royal Danish Defense College lecturer, mentions the presence of Russian presence in Peninsula in the 21st.”

A Nordic diplomat also added that two Russians claimed that they had gone to English City to visit their famous cathedral for a poisoning attack in Salsbari.

Double comparisons with recent Russian aggression may seem like a hyperbol for US activities in Denmark and Greenland. However, Nordic officials say Trump has been upright after following his threat to achieve a series of rising incitement, by force to make Greenland possible. One said, “It’s cruel than buying it,”

Greenland during a special sensitive period, making this tour more extraordinary. The autonomous island is trying to form a new coalition government and will be elected local next week. Greenlandic officials have made it clear that no meeting with the US delegation can be held until they form a new government.

According to the outgoing Prime Minister on Sunday night, the Anger may be felt in the comments of the Adaism. “A very aggressive American pressure against the Greenlandic Society is so serious now that this level cannot be extended,” he told the newspaper Serciac. He also added that the time is “last” where Greenland may believe in the United States because of good relations and cooperation.

The public tune of Copenhagen was low, but the subtext was the same. Denmark Foreign Minister Lars Lake Rasmusen said on Monday that the visit showed the lack of respect from Americans and “inappropriate hunger”.

Personally, the previous attempts to understand the US aspirations for further cooperation of Artic and the open effort have been replaced by the boredom of the administration on the rough ride on diplomatic rules.

It makes it even more difficult to accept Denmark and Greenland’s main security guarantors, military suppliers and NATO ally. Many believe that Trump and the United States are sending the situation wrongly and hoping that the latest visit will be fulfilled by protest.

They were willing to discuss everything for both Copenhagen and Nook – US military presence in Greenland as well as the rare world investment – Trump excludes the other things that want: land.

Trump himself has repeatedly said that he wants Greenland for “National Security” by increasing the Russian and Chinese presence of Arctic. “You will probably see more [US] The soldiers go there, “He rolled out at the White House earlier this month, tied the American military presence in Greenland, which is currently down from the top of 5 to about 20.

Greenlanders who initially thought that Trump’s interest could help see their stress in Denmark now their stress could be seen in danger. Democrats, the wonderful winner of this month’s national election in Greenland, may finally seek independence, but some of its rivals are much slower. In the Parliament of Greenland, the leaders of the five groups are currently Joined the force to condemn Trump And repeat that they want to be Greenlandic even if they are not American or Danish.

However, as the ads emphasized, it is clear that Greenland requires assistance from outside to tolerate the rising US pressure. Denmark Prime Minister Met Fredericksen posted a picture of enjoying a comfortable dinner with other Nordic leaders after the previous overturn, but there was little desire to speak in the US from them or other allies.

“Our other allies in the international community are hiding in a small corner and almost whispering that they support us, it has no effect,” added to the Edage. “If they don’t talk loudly about how they are treating Greenland in the United States, the situation will increase day by day.”

Usually a source of national pride, this year’s Avanata Kimusersu puppy is leaving Greenland concern about its future.
