Recall: Donald Trump has been speaking openly about the request to take control of Greenland for weeks. So the planet is anxious about the future of this island and beyond.
Donald Trump spoke on Greenland. It wasn't without threats.
On January 21, at the planet economical Forum in Davos, the president of the United States raised the issue. He tried to convince them that "Denmark and NATO are ungrateful" to what America has always done for them, and in return they do not want to quit even a "piece of ice", or Greenland.
– After the war, we returned Denmark. How stupid we were to do it, but we did it. We gave it back, but how ungrateful they are now," he said. In the further part of his speech, he erstwhile claimed that he would not usage force, and immediately later suggested that the planet has something to fear from America: – We will most likely get nothing unless I decide to usage excessive force – and force where, frankly, we would be unstoppable. But I won't.
At the end, the U.S. president stated that he demands immediate negotiations to retake the island by the United States. - You have a choice. You can say yes, and we'll be very grateful. Or you can say no, and we'll remember that – he has.
Trump about NATO countries in Davos
Let us remind that in consequence to what is happening around Greenland, further European countries have decided to increase their military presence in the Arctic region. tiny contingents of soldiers to Greenland were sent by France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The troops took part in Denmark's Arctic Endurance exercises.
The decision of European states has clearly enraged Donald Trump. The president of the United States announced the imposition of 10% duties on countries that supported Greenland and opposed its takeover by the United States. The tariffs will cover Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, large Britain, the Netherlands and Finland and will enter into force on 1 February.
Trump in Davos stated that "Europe is not going in the right direction" and mentioned NATO members: "We never asked for anything, we never got anything. We took care of NATO for many years. I always thought it was unfair, so I forced NATO to pay due to the fact that these are rich countries. I think it is time for NATO to increase its activities.
Thus, Trump’s words may be outraged, not by the Greenlandites themselves.
