Danish PM says Trump’s pressure on Greenland is ‘totally unacceptable’ — Munich conference latest
Donald Trump’s “pressure” on Greenland is “totally unacceptable, the Danish prime minister has told the Munich Security Conference.
Mette Frederiksen has said she thinks “unfortunately” the US president remains “very serious” about acquiring the Danish territory, following threats to annex it.
“I think the pressure on Greenland is totally unacceptable,” she said. “We are talking about threats.
“The people of Greenland have never been threatened before by anyone,” she said, adding that there would be little compromise from Greenland, Denmark, and Nato allies.
Earlier at the conference, Britain blamed the Kremlin for killing opposition leader Alexei Navalny, which it said was likely done using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin.
Two years on from the death of Mr Navalny, the UK and its allies have pinned the blame on the Russian state following analysis of material samples found on his body, saying it was likely conducted using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin.
The Kremlin has always denied causing Navalny’s death, but the UK and its allies said that “only the Russian state had the combined means, motive and disregard for international law” to carry out the attack on the Russian opposition leader.
