Denmark's Prime Minister Responded to Trump: We Are Ready to Defend Our Land
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that her country is ready to defend its territory following the U.S. president’s latest remarks on the kingdom’s territorial integrity. She emphasized that the issue of Denmark’s sovereignty is not open to debate.
Frederiksen, who was on her way to a meeting, stopped for a brief conversation with reporters, and most of the questions concerned Trump’s remarks.
The prime minister confirmed that she had heard the U.S. president’s remarks, in which he once again asserted territorial claims to Greenland. “I heard the U.S. president yesterday. Unfortunately, the U.S. position on this issue is very clear, but our position is just as clear as it has always been,” she said. “Greenland is not for sale, and we hope that everyone, including our allies, will understand this.”
The Danish prime minister expressed hope that the U.S. would respect the will of the Greenlandic people to remain part of Denmark, but also emphasized that Denmark is prepared to defend itself if necessary.
“We are ready to defend every meter of NATO, including our own territory. After all, one of the reasons we founded NATO many years ago was the idea that if something happens to one of us, everyone else must support that member,” Mette Frederiksen said.
She also recalled that Article 5 of the NATO Washington Treaty worked in the United States’ favor when America came under a terrorist attack.
This was reported from Ankara by a correspondent for “European Truth.”
As a reminder, the Russian Armed Forces suffered 1,310 casualties in the past 24 hours, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The occupiers attacked Kostiantynivka with incendiary munitions and caused a “phosphorus rain.”
