TRUMP SURPRISED THE WORLD
Donald Trump's statements that the Russia-Ukraine war should end and that he wants peace in the Middle East surprised the world. Preparing to take office in the U.S., Trump reiterated on December 23 in a post on his Truth Social account that Greenland should be under U.S. control, arguing that owning and controlling the island is an "absolute necessity."
DENMARK WENT ON ALERT
Following Trump's statements, attention turned to Denmark. Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced a new defense package. Poulsen noted that they had not invested enough in the Arctic for many years and stated that they aimed to demonstrate a "stronger presence" in the region. He shared that the package prepared for Greenland would include the deployment of two patrol vessels, two long-range drones, and sled dogs. Referring to Trump's statements that "Greenland should be under U.S. control," Poulsen described the timing of the new defense package as "irony of fate."
"WE ARE NOT FOR SALE"
Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede emphasized in a written statement that Greenland is "not for sale," stating, "Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We will not lose our long-standing struggle for freedom."
