Greenland’s Minister Naja Nathanielsen has clearly said that her country does not want to become a part of America. He said that the people of Greenland want to decide their own future. He said this after the statements made by US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland. Nathanielsen said that the situation has become such that the people of Greenland feel betrayed by an old and trusted ally.

Relations with America are important, but…
Naja Nathanielsen said that Greenland considers its relations with America important. Greenland has been a longtime ally of the United States and has welcomed American investment. He also acknowledged that there is a need to increase security and surveillance in the Arctic region, but this does not mean that Greenland should become a part of America.

‘Feeling betrayed by a trusted partner’
Nathanielson said in an interview to NDTV, ‘At this time it has become difficult for the people of Greenland to understand what is happening. We feel that the big partner whom we have trusted for years is betraying us.

The world will change if Greenland is attacked
Greenland’s minister warned that if America ever attacks Greenland, it will have far-reaching consequences. He said that if this happens, the current global system will completely change.

Support for a strong presence of Europe and NATO in the Arctic
Nathanielsen said that most of the people of Greenland are in favor of a strong presence of European countries and NATO in the Arctic region. He said that this is necessary not only for military security but also for the common people and strategic cooperation.

What is the reason behind Trump’s interest?
Donald Trump has repeatedly emphasized the strategic importance of Greenland. On this, Nathanielson said that there could be many reasons for America’s interest. He said that this could include army, natural resources and perhaps even the idea of ​​expansion.

Tension between Greenland, Denmark and America
Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory under Denmark. In recent times, talks have taken place at many levels between Greenland, Denmark and America. However, Denmark’s Foreign Minister admitted that these talks have not reduced the differences and America’s stance still remains the same.

Denmark and European countries’ military prepared
Meanwhile, Denmark and its European allies have started deploying troops in Greenland. This is being considered as a clear sign of strengthening security in the Arctic region. Donald Trump says that America’s control over Greenland is necessary for national security. He claims that China and Russia want to increase their influence in this area.
