Russian Ambassador: Russia and China Have No Plan to Seize Greenland

Russian State News Agency, Beijing, February 10 - Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov told Sputnik that Moscow and Beijing have no plan to seize Greenland, and Washington is very clear about this.

US President Trump previously emphasized that Washington must control Greenland, arguing that Russia and China may pose a threat to the US and the free world.

Morgulov said: "Neither we nor our Chinese partners have ever expressed the intention to seize Greenland, and Washington is very clear about this."

Greenland belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, but Trump has repeatedly claimed that the island should become part of the United States. The Danish and Greenland governments have warned Washington not to seize the island, hoping that territorial integrity will be respected.
