Reference Message Network reported on May 12 that according to a report by Agence France-Presse on May 11, while US President Trump is attempting to gain control over Greenland, the Danish government said that the leaders of Denmark, the autonomous government of Greenland, the autonomous government of the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Norway will hold talks on Arctic security issues on May 12.
Trump has repeatedly stated that for security reasons, the United States needs this strategically located and resource-rich Arctic island and will not rule out the possibility of using force to seize it.
The report said that Trump's remarks have caused concern among other countries and regions in the Arctic, including Iceland and Svalbard of Norway.
His remarks also infuriated the leaders of Denmark and the autonomous government of Greenland, who insisted that the future of Greenland would be decided by themselves, and that the United States "would not get Greenland."
The meeting on May 12 will be held in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Premier of the Autonomous Government of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Icelandic Prime Minister Kristján Þórhallsson, and Premier of the Autonomous Government of the Faroe Islands Aksel Johannesen will attend the meeting.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre will participate via video link.
