«The Kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland, is a member of NATO.»
French President Macron, German Chancellor Merz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, Polish Prime Minister Tusk, Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez, British Prime Minister Starmer, and Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen wrote this in a joint statement regarding Greenland.
A joint response to US President Donald Trump's expansionist ambitions. These are increasingly concrete, according to the British Economist: the United States is working on an association agreement with Greenland that excludes Denmark. This is one of the options put forward by the Trump administration, according to the weekly, in addition to formal annexation. This would be a political and military agreement to allow Washington to deploy troops more freely and expand its military infrastructure.
Ue: «Sulla Groenlandia si rispetti l'integrità territoriale»
Europe is trying to slow things down: "Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and is fundamental to international and transatlantic security. NATO has made it clear that the Arctic region is a priority, and European allies are stepping up their efforts. We and many other allies have increased our presence, activities, and investments to maintain Arctic security and deter adversaries."
"Arctic security," the statement continues, "must therefore be ensured collectively, in cooperation with NATO allies, including the United States, upholding the principles of the United Nations Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not cease to defend them. The United States is an essential partner in this effort, as a NATO ally and through the 1951 Defense Agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States. Greenland belongs to its people. It is up to Denmark and Greenland, and only them, to decide on matters affecting Denmark and Greenland."
