Trump’s request in Davos

The publication of this guide occurred on a day in which Trump himself demanded, from the Davos Economic Forum, “immediate” negotiations for the acquisition of autonomous Danish territory.

“You cannot negotiate with people, you can negotiate between people. We respect the agreements we make,” responded the Danish Foreign Minister. Lars Løkke Rasmussenwhich agreed with the White House to create a “working group” that will begin working “in the coming weeks” to resolve Washington’s concerns regarding the situation on the island.

Rasmussen considered it “positive” that Trump had ruled out the military route to conquer Greenland. “But that doesn’t make the problem go away,” acknowledged the former Danish prime minister at the end of a meeting of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs committee. “[El presidente de Estados Unidos] says that Denmark can’t take over Greenland, so the challenge is still there.”

“We maintain the agreements we have made, and we have an agreement that we must start quite quickly,” reiterated the Foreign Minister, who traveled to Washington in the company of his Greenlandic counterpart. Vivian Motzfeldtto discuss the situation on the island with the Secretary of State, Marco Rubioand the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegsethin charge of negotiating its acquisition.

The mayor of Nuuk, Avaaraq S. Olsenhe acknowledged this Wednesday in statements to the agency Ritzau that it was “a relief that [Trump] Say you don’t want to use military force. But there is everything else that indicates that we are not going to enter a quiet period.”
