Donald Trump’s statement on Greenland has alerted Denmark. Trump is soon going to take command of America, hence, taking his statement seriously, Denmark is going to increase its defense capabilities in Greenland. Danish Defense Minister Troels Poulsen said in an interview to Jyllands Posten newspaper, ‘For many years we have not invested enough in the Arctic. But now we are planning for a stronger presence.
Defense Minister Poulsen has not yet told how much Denmark will invest in Greenland. He has emphasized that an additional budget of about two billion krone (Danish currency) will be used to purchase at least 2 Tetis class maritime patrol vessels and 2 long-range drones. Along with this, military personnel will also be recruited for the Joint Arctic Command, which will protect the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Trump wants American control over Greenland
Let us tell you that recently Donald Trump had said on his social media platform Truth Social that America feels that ownership and control of Greenland is very important for national security and freedom all over the world. The very next day of Trump’s statement, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede’s statement also came. He had said that Greenland belongs to the people here. We are not for sale and will never be available for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.
Denmark’s 2 MPs are elected
Let us tell you that Greenland is a self-governing territory under the monarchy of Denmark. It has its own parliament and administration. From here, two members are also elected for the Folketing or Parliament of Denmark. However, decisions related to Greenland’s foreign policy and defense are taken by Denmark only.
