I only ask for a part of ice, cold, poorly located, which, however, can play a key function in planet peace – so president Donald Trump spoke present in Davos about the intention to take over Greenland. At the same time, the leader of the United States assured that he would not usage force to accomplish his goal and called on the Danes and Greenlandese to negociate urgently.

Relations between the US and Europe have late become highly tense. It's all due to you. Greenland – the autonomous territory of Denmark to which the US president Donald Trump complains. In fresh days, he has even threatened with economical sanctions against those European countries that openly opposed his plans and sent soldiers to the island. That is why present the eyes of politicians and commentators from almost all over the planet were turned to Swiss Davos, where the planet economical Forum continues. Reason: an American leader was scheduled to talk in the afternoon.

As expected, Trump has devoted much of his speech to Greenland. He outlined a wide historical context. Explaining his aspirations for this territory, he recalled that during planet War II it was occupied by US troops. “We saved Greenland from Germany for Denmark and then returned it to the Danish. We were stupid. And they turned out to be ungrateful," Trump emphasized. According to him, Denmark is incapable to adequately defend the island from the temptations of Russia and China. meantime Greenland is vital to the United States. And it's not like he said, natural resources. In this case, only national safety issues are important. “I have large respect for the people of Greenland and the citizens of Denmark. But all NATO ally must be ready to defend its territory, and the fact is that no country or group of countries is able to safe Greenland properly. Only the USA – Trump argued. Americans declare that they want to embrace the island of Golden Dome, a modern rocket defence system. I want NATO to benefit. But, as the American president pointed out, U.S. to invest on the island, they request “propriety”.

RECLAMA

According to Donald Trump, the United States could easy do its job, reaching for military strength. “We would be unstoppable, but we won’t,” he said. At the same time, he called for an immediate start to negotiations that would lead to the US taking over the island. "I ask only for a part of ice, cold, poorly located, which, however, can play a key function in planet peace," stressed the President. And addressing the Greenlandians directly, he added, "You can say yes," and we will show large gratitude, or you can say no, and we will remember that.

During his speech in Davos Trump, he besides mentioned the war in Ukraine, calling it a “bloodbath”. I'm talking to Putin, he wants to make a deal. I besides meet Zelenski – he besides wants an agreement. This war must end. besides many people lose their lives there – he emphasized. At the same time, the U.S. leader admitted that present he could inactive meet with the president of Ukraine.

Trump one more time criticised the European Union, but besides Britain for its erroneous economical and migration policy. The U.S. cares about people in Europe, they're crucial to me. I come from part Germany and part Scotland. We firmly believe in the relation with Europe, but she must abandon the culture she has created for the last 10 years. It's a nightmare. They destruct themselves – perorated. He besides caught on NATO, which he felt he did not appreciate the US, and the associate States only agreed to transfer 5% of GDP to defence.

Meanwhile Greenland and cooperation on the Europa-US line was discussed very widely present in Davos. It became, among others, the main subject of the panel, which was attended by Presidents of Poland – Karol Nawrocki, Finland – Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “There is simply a request for solidarity in Europe, but besides for building good transatlantic relations,” Nawrocki said. The Head of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland besides expressed hope that the dispute over Greenland would be resolved on a diplomatic basis besides due to the fact that it would not push the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian War to the background. We inactive feel a threat from Russia. We are in the mediate of a hybrid war – reminded Karol Nawrocki. Mark Rutte spoke in a akin tone. According to him, Greenland needs "rethinkable diplomacy" and the full Arctic should be better protected from the temptations of Russia and China. “We are working to defend this region together,” he said.

Tomorrow's another day of the forum. According to announcements in Davos, a paper initiating the activities of the Peace Council that Trump wants to establish may be signed.
