Jens-Frederik Nielsen leads Greenland\u2019s new coalition government, after his centre-right Democrats party won a legislative election in March. It will be his first visit to Denmark since taking office.<\/p>\n<p>It also follows a visit to the Arctic territory by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in early April, when she told the United States \u201cyou cannot annex another country\u201d. \u201cFirst and foremost, I will resume discussions with the Prime Minister about the geopolitical situation and cooperation,\u201d Nielsen said in a statement this week, referring to Frederiksen. \u201cIt is important that we make plans for our future cooperation in these times,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between the United States and Denmark have soared after Trump repeatedly said he wanted to take control of the resource-rich Arctic island. The US president has insisted Washington needs control of Greenland for security reasons, refusing to rule out the use of force to secure it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018International peace\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we need that for international peace, and if we don\u2019t have that it\u2019s a big threat to our world. So I think Greenland is very important for international peace,\u201d Trump told reporters Thursday during a press conference alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store. In a statement announcing the visit, the Danish government said that cooperation between Greenland and Denmark would be the \u201cfocus\u201d of Nielsen\u2019s visit. \u201cWe must support each other in the difficult foreign policy situation Greenland and the Kingdom are in right now,\u201d said Frederiksen.<\/p>\n<p>US Vice President JD Vance also paid a visit to Greenland in March, which both Nuuk and Copenhagen viewed as a provocation. During his trip to the Pituffik US military base, Vance castigated Denmark for not having \u201cdone a good job by the people of Greenland\u201d. \u201cYou have under-invested in the people of Greenland and you have under-invested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass,\u201d he told a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen responded on social media: \u201cWe are open to criticisms, but let me be completely honest, we do not appreciate the tone in which it\u2019s being delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nielsen himself said that \u201cthe United States will not get Greenland\u201d. \u201cWe don\u2019t belong to anyone else. We decide our own future,\u201d he added in a Facebook post. During his visit to Copenhagen, which will last two days, Nielsen will also meet Denmark\u2019s King Frederik and representatives of the Danish parliament.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate statement, Denmark\u2019s Royal House said the king would then accompany Nielsen back to Greenland for a visit to the Arctic island. Polls show a vast majority of Greenland\u2019s 57,000 people want to become independent from Denmark but do not wish to become part of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/greenland-pm-visits-denmark-as-trump-threats-loom\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/greenland-pm-visits-denmark-as-trump-threats-loom\/\">Greenland PM visits Denmark as Trump threats loom<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,3794,18650,3873],"class_list":["post-139289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-denmark","tag-greenland-pm","tag-trump"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139289\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
