Unfair threat by the US to occupy Greenland by force
Why Trump wants to gain control of Greenland 'by force' .United States President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday refused to rule out using military force in his attempt to get Greenland under US Control.
The remarks come at a time when the President-elect's son Donald Trump Jr is visiting Greenland in what was described as a private visit.
Whether Trump could assure the world that as the US tries to get control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, it was not going to use military or economic coercion?
His reply came in negative and th President elect assures about Panama and Greenland...No, I can't assure you on either of those two. But I can say this -- we need them for economic security.
Earlier on Monday, Trump said in a social media post that he was, 'hearing that the people of Greenland are MAGA'.
Trump said "I am hearing that the people of Greenland are 'MAGA'. My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN."
In the video posted by the President elect a woman is heard saying, 'If you could tell Trump anything, what would it be?' a woman is heard asking the man in the video. A man wearing a MAGA hat replies, 'Buy us. Buy Greenland.'
In an earlier post on January 7, Donald Trump wrote, 'Don Jr and my Reps landing in Greenland. The reception has been great. They, and the Free World, need safety, security, strength, and PEACE! This is a deal that must happen. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!.'
Trump Jr who landed in Greenland on Monday posted on X a video of Air Force 1 over Greenland saying, 'Greenland coming in hot... well, actually, really really cold!!!!'
The President elect's comments on Greenland follow a December 23 post on Truth Social where he had made claims on acquiring Greenland.
'For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.
Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has rejected Trump's designs on Greenland.
"I, of course, hope that Trump Jr. will have the opportunity to see Greenland and visit the magnificent country. But it is also important to hold fast that the future of Greenland is defined by the Greenlanders, not by the rest of us." Is it not a clear message to Trump.
Frederiksen was quoted as saying in an interview to Danish TV by CBS News.
"I would much rather have American investment and American interest than I want Russian or Chinese. On the other hand, I would like to encourage everyone to respect that the Greenlanders are a people, they are a population," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen fairly reminded Trump his malafide designs to occupy by force.
It is their country that is at stake here.
According to the Danish Government website, Greenland is officially the world's largest island that is not a continent.
Home to 56,000 inhabitants, Greenland has its own extensive local government, but it is also part of the Realm of Denmark.
The 56,000 people mostly live in the 20 per cent of the country that is not covered by ice and snow. It is unfair on the part of US to forceully occupy
