Greenland’s prime minister has said “we choose Denmark” before high-stakes talks at the White House as Donald Trump seeks to take control of the Arctic territory.
Amid rising tensions over the US president’s push, Jens-Frederik Nielsen on Tuesday told a joint press conference with his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen, that the island would not be owned or governed by Washington.
“We are now facing a geopolitical crisis. If we have to choose between the US and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark, Nato and the EU,” Nielsen said, adding that the island’s “goal and desire is peaceful dialogue, with a focus on cooperation”.Trump’s pursuit of the island was also a matter of “international law and our right to our own country”, he said.
I think that’s called “appeasement.” It’s worked great throughout history.
I can’t think of a single time that appeasement backfired!
Obviously /s
It upsets me so much, but this is how Switzerland survived WW2 unscathed. Of course many Swiss have the same reaction now with fascist America.
Switzerland wasn’t as neutral as people think. They were the bank of the Nazis.
I thought Switzerland survived world war II by killing the Nazis as they invaded
Seriously? Did you read any history books? I guess you’re American. They don’t teach real history in the Fascist States of America, which explains all their delusional views and deep love for Nazis and Hitler.
Swiss allowed and catered to Nazis, kept their gold and money safe and cooperated with them throughout.
Nope, they weren’t attacked and just let everything burn around them while providing services to the nazis
Yeah they hid the gold and artwork in their vaults for them.
Ah I see NATO subscribes to the Democratic playbook too.
