Greenland may become independent, but not part of the United States: Danish Foreign Ministry
Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Greenland could become independent if its residents chose to do so, but would not become part of the United States. About this informs Reuters.
“We are fully aware that Greenland has its own ambitions. If they come true, Greenland will become independent, although hardly with ambitions to become a federal state within the United States.” – said Rasmussen.
At the same time, the minister emphasized that US concerns about security in the Arctic region are justified, given the growing activity of Russia and China in the area.
“I don’t think we are in a foreign policy crisis. We are open to a dialogue with the Americans about how we can work together even more closely than we do now to ensure that American ambitions are realized.”, – added the head of the Danish Foreign Ministry.
It will be recalled that Donald Trump previously stated that he does not rule out the use of military or economic measures to join Greenland to the United States. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also made a private visit to Greenland.
