“We need Greenland”: This is how Trump’s press comments on the press

During a visit to Greenland, US Vice President JD Vance fired Donald Trump’s controversial plans after taking over the territory belonging to Denmark and sharply attacked the Danish government. He thinks that the Grönlander would end up with the USA, Vance said in front of reporters during a visit to the US Marin base Pituffik on the island. The United States would assume that the Grönlanders decide to become independent of Denmark, said Vance. “And then we will have conversations.”

Just like at the Munich Security Conference in February towards Europe, Vance in Greenland also made Denmark serious accusations. Denmark did not take a step to keep Greenland safe, said Vance. Greenland is less safe today than a few decades ago. “Our argument is really directed against the Danish leadership, which invests too little in Greenland and its security architecture. That just has to change. It is the policy of the United States that this changes.” He thinks that Greenland will be much better under a US security screen than under a Danish safety screen.

“Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”: “At the beginning one may have thought that the Grönland-Gag is counting for the ‘Flood The Zone with Shit’ recipe of the Trumpians: spread so much manure that the media in their excitement about the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico or alleged annexation plans for Canada, Panama and Greenland and the tangible attacks on social and rule of law are now growing. Joke war can be a lightning war.

“Hessian/Lower Saxony General”: “Pact on with war criminals, make allies contempt, abolish free world trade and secure themselves that are stored in Ukrainian earth and under the ice of Greenland. There is someone with a political weight that calls the US government: keep your nationalistic and imperialist course harmful to the whole world and thus in the end? Surprision is celebrated with the felt pen of the populist autocrat, the more it becomes a habit.

“Handelsblatt”: “The president says what he says. He wants to expand his area of ​​power – and will not be easy to dissuade from it. Trump’s plans are a direct threat to transatlantic security. An invasion of a peaceful country, an aggression against a close allied like Denmark has not so far threatened. Before the choice, to admit his failure or to take a military venture, the Europeans have to do everything so far.

“Stuttgarter Zeitung”: “Greenland, Canada and Panama are among the most peaceful countries in the world. The fact that Donald Trump threatens this long-friendly states with Annexion with the USA. But that makes sense out of his worldview. The US president thinks in the patterns of the 19th century, in which supposedly large men have divided the world among themselves. In this perspective. Lands are strategically used by the channel. Super power not to counter the resistance of their civil societies.

“Frankfurter Rundschau”: “As little as you have to fear the soon invasion of US troops on Danish soil, the Posse provides Putin arguments for relativizing the occupation of the Crimea and other attacks that are contrary to international law. In the small Greenland, the big problem is shown in which Trump deliberately controlls the old alliances and thus strengthens the authoritarian regime, which in its desirement struts over a can only cheer for disputed West. “

“Pravo” (Czech Republic): “Even for a superpower like the USA, there is nothing good to go to the head. The country does without Denmark, but a superpower without allies is less great. (…) Perhaps unplaced Redneck that does not look beyond their farm, the US Vice President JD Vance, because he is fighting for American interests and in reality. Vance harms US interests like no other.

“Neue Zürcher Zeitung” (Switzerland): “The US administration emphasizes that Greenland is threatened by numerous countries. America is therefore asked as a protector. In fact, Russia and China have an increasing influence in the Arctic. However, if the Greenlanders feel directly threatened by someone. Denmark has been seen for a long time. Arctic is significantly expanded.
