EU and NATO told to keep silent on Greenland – FT

Denmark has requested that confrontational reactions to US President Trump’s aggressive overtures be avoided, according to the newspaper

Denmark has asked NATO and the European Union not to comment on the US President Donald Trump's recent threats regarding Greenland, the Financial Times has claimed, citing several anonymous officials. Copenhagen reportedly hopes that by refusing to openly confront the new US president it can appease him.

The US head of state first floated the idea of purchasing the island during his first term in office, and revived the idea following his return to the White House. Trump has cited Greenland’s significance for US national security and has refused to rule out the use of military force to obtain the island, one of the world's largest.

Denmark, which rules the autonomous territory, has insisted that Greenland is not for sale.

The FT article on Tuesday alleged that NATO and the EU “have taken a vow of silence over Greenland” at Copenhagen’s behest. The Nordic nation is supposedly anxious to avoid public confrontation with the US president in the hope of averting further escalation.

The media outlet quoted an unnamed senior European official as explaining that a “low profile seems to be the safest bet with Trump. Hopefully he will be distracted by something else.”

The FT pointed out that there was no joint statement forthcoming regarding Greenland following a meeting on Sunday between Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her Norwegian and Swedish counterparts, despite the issue apparently having been discussed. Similarly, both European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa have remained conspicuously silent on the topic, the newspaper wrote.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told the European Parliament last week that “this is not about who rules or controls Greenland,” but rather “about making sure that the Arctic stays safe.” He also stressed the importance of maintaining dialogue with Trump.

Touching on the issue while on board Air Force One on Saturday, the US president expressed confidence that “we’ll get [Greenland] – because it really has to do with freedom of the world.”

He also appeared to ridicule Denmark’s recently announced plan to increase its military presence on the Arctic island.

The FT, citing several anonymous European officials, reported last Friday that Trump and Frederiksen earlier this month had what was characterized as a “horrendous” phone conversation. Trump allegedly came across as “very firm” about his intention to purchase Greenland and threatened Copenhagen with tariffs unless it acquiesces.
