Don't resist directly, but counter America's move, Denmark invites the US to participate in military exercises, Trump's statement is unexpected!
On January 17, AFP reported: "The commander of the Danish Arctic Joint Command, Anson, announced yesterday that he has invited the United States and several NATO member states to participate in this year's joint military exercises in Greenland, and the US has not yet responded. On the same day, Trump stated that tariffs would be imposed on countries opposing the US taking over Greenland. The President of the European Council said that relevant issues should be resolved within the NATO framework. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, with a US military base located there, and Trump has repeatedly sought control over the island since taking office."
[Sarcastic] Denmark's move to counter America is very clever, directly putting Trump's hegemonic ambitions into the NATO framework! A hundred years ago, the US had already coveted Greenland, and now Trump wants to seize it by tariffs, a typical reenactment of the arrogance of the colonial era. Denmark didn't directly confront but instead invited the US to participate, which both used NATO to clarify the sovereignty red line and put the US in a difficult position: if they come for the exercises, it means they acknowledge Greenland belongs to Denmark; if they don't come, they will lose face in NATO. The European Council also responded by taking a side. The US military base in Greenland is nothing more than a showpiece. No matter how hegemonic, it can't withstand the countermeasure by allies using rules. This territorial farce ultimately ends up being a self-inflicted embarrassment for Trump!
