When reading this Statement by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen yesterday, I was wondering, haven’t Greenland and Denmark been involved in the “negotiations” between Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte and Donald Trump in Davos shortly after Trump’s erratic speech? When buying or annexing Greenland was seemingly “off the table”? As well as additional tariffs for European countries which had dared to send a few dozen soldiers to Greenland? When Trump in fact coerced re-negotiating the 1951 treaty between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Denmark which gave the US a significant role in Greenland’s defence and allowed the US to have military bases there?

Apparently not.

In a press conference yesterday, Jens-Frederick Nielsen (Trump said before: “I don’t know who he is.”) stated, “I don’t know what there is in the agreement or the deal about my country.” “Sovereignty is a red line.”
