US visit to Greenland is unsatisfactory-Danish Prime Minister

US visit to Greenland is unsatisfactory-Danish Prime Minister. The Joined together States is applying “unacceptable pressure” on Greenland, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday, ahead of an spontaneous visit by a high-profile U.S. assignment to the semi-autonomous Danish domain this week.

The visit, which runs from Thursday to Saturday, will be driven by Usha Vance, spouse of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, and incorporate White House National Security Consultant Mike Waltz and Vitality Secretary Chris Wright.

President Donald Trump on Monday emphasized his recommendation that the U.S. ought to take over Greenland, saying the endless island was vital for U.S. national security. Frederiksen has rejected the proposal.

“I have to say that it is unsatisfactory weight being put on Greenland and Denmark in this circumstance. And it is weight that we will stand up to,” she told Danish broadcasters DR and TV2.

Greenland’s acting head of government, Quiet Egede, has named the visit a “provocation,” as it coincides with government consolidation talks and civil decisions planned for the taking after week.

Since Donald Trump Jr.’s private visit to the mineral-rich island in January, Trump has reliably talked about U.S. addition of Greenland.

On Monday, Trump said that his organization was working with “individuals in Greenland” who need something to happen, but did not elaborate.

“The visit is clearly not around what Greenland needs or needs,” said Frederiksen. “President Trump is genuine. He needs Greenland. In this manner, (this visit) cannot be seen freely of anything else,” said Frederiksen.

Brian Hughes, representative for the White House National Security Chamber, said the designation pointed to “learn almost Greenland, its culture, history, and people.”

Frederiksen debated the idea of a private visit with official agents. She said Denmark did not restrict ties with the Joined together States, citing a 1951 respective understanding which set up U.S. rights to move openly and develop military bases in Greenland, given Denmark and Greenland are notified.

“We are partners,” she said, including: “There is no sign either in Denmark or Greenland that we do not need participation with the Americans.”

Egede has called for more strong back from partners against the U.S.

“There is gigantic bolster from the Nordic nations and the EU, so we have our partners and near accomplices with us,” said Frederiksen.
