We are “unacceptable pressure” to Greenland with an unwanted visit, says Danish Prime Minister
The United States executes “unacceptable pressure” to Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederixen said on Tuesday, on the eve of the unwanted visit to the high -profile American delegation on the semi -Autonic Danish territory this week.
A visit to the US military base will include US V
American Vice President said on the social media platform x on Tuesday that he will visit Greenland on Friday. His wife was supposed to watch the dog race on Friday, but it was canceled and instead he would visit the Pituffik Space Base, the Vice President’s office said.
“We’ll check how things go there,” Vance said in a video that follows his post about X. “Speaking for President Trump, we want to reunite the security of the Greenland people because we think it is important to protect the safety of the whole world.”
US President Donald Trump on Monday reiterated his proposal that the US should take over Greenland, saying that a huge island is important for US national security. Frederixen rejected the proposal, saying that he was in Greenland on people to decide on their future.
“I have to say that the unacceptable pressure on Greenland and Denmark is in this situation. And the pressure is that we will resist,” said the Danish Emiterian Dr and TV2.
Greenland’s duties of the head of the government, Múte Egeda, marked the visit with a “provocation” because he coincides with the talks of the Government Coalition and the municipal elections scheduled for next week.
“This is a charming offensive without charm,” said Noa Redington, analyst and former advisor to the previous Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
“And everyone is upset because it is so obvious that it is the intimidation of Greenland people and causing Denmark.”
With US President Donald Trump, who threatened to take over Greenland, the Prime Minister of the country called a visit to the US provocation delegation and very aggressive. The Americans on the trip include National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President.
‘A powerful respect for respect’
Since the private visit of Donald Trump the younger in January, the US president, spoke consistently about Greenland annexation and invited Greenlanders to join the United States.

Earlier this month, anti -American protesters gathered in the capital of Nuuk and in several other cities across the island, in some of the largest demonstrations ever seen in Greenland.
On Monday, Trump said his administration cooperates with “people in Greenland” who want something to happen but has not worked out.
Kuno Feckker welcomed the visit by saying that it was “honor and a strong signal of respect.” Fenker is a member of the Greenland Parliament for the Nationalist and Strong Pro-Novivicity of Nalerq Party, which was second in second place in March 11 General choices.
“They are welcome in Greenland,” he said, adding that he had not been in contact with the US administration about the visit.
Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said the delegation aimed at “learning about Greenland, his culture, history and people.”
‘Wants Grenland’
Frederixen challenged the notion of a private visit with official representatives.
“The visit is obviously not about what Greenland needs or wants,” she said. “President Trump is serious. He wants Greenland. Therefore, [this visit] One cannot see regardless of anything else. “
Frederixen said Denmark had not opposed the connections with the United States, citing a bilateral agreement of 1951, which informed the rights of USA for the free movement and construction of military bases in Greenland, given Denmark and Grenland.
“We are allies,” she said. “Neither in Denmark nor in Greenland there is no indication that we do not want to cooperate with the Americans.”
Egede has invited the more powerful support of allies against the USA
Frederixen said: “There is a huge support of Nordic countries and the EU, so we have our allies and close partners with us.”
Dwayne Ryan Menezes, founder and executive director of London’s research and politics initiative based in London, said that the “intimidation” of Greenland Trump’s administration could reciprocate the fire.
Menezes said that Trump was “smart enough” to understand the strategic importance of Greenland that he should also be “smart enough to know that he has no bigger way to weaken the American hand and hurt his long -term interests from turning his back on his allies, the main asymmetrical advantage he enjoys in his opponents.”
