Reference News, January 12 report: According to AFP, January 11 report, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen said on the 11th that the current situation regarding Greenland is a "decisive" moment. U.S. President Trump has expressed a desire to gain control over Greenland.
Previously, when interviewed by The New York Times, Trump admitted that he might have to choose between maintaining the integrity of NATO and controlling Danish territory.
Danish Prime Minister said: "We believe in international law and the right of self-determination, so we uphold the principles of sovereignty, self-determination, and territorial integrity."
According to EFE, January 11 report, French Foreign Minister Le Drian urged Trump to stop extorting Greenland on January 11.
Le Drian emphasized: "Greenland is European territory protected by NATO, and extortion must stop." He said Europeans have strong means to defend their own interests.
EFE also reported on January 11 that Sweden's former Prime Minister and leader of the Social Democratic Party, Andersson, said that if Denmark and Greenland consider it necessary and make requests to partner countries, Sweden may send troops to Greenland together with other European countries.
When directly asked whether it was appropriate to deploy Swedish troops to Greenland under the current situation, the former Prime Minister responded: "Of course, but it needs to be coordinated with other countries."
She believes "there is no need to rush," but also said that Trump's statements about controlling Greenland at all costs are extremely恶劣. She emphasized that international law must always be defended because "it is the most important defense for small countries." (Translated by Liu Zhuo, Liu Lifi)
