Frederiksen Addresses “Fateful Moment” Amid Greenland Threats
“We are at a crossroads, and this is a moment of destiny,” Frederiksen stated during a panel debate at the Social Liberal Party’s New Year gathering in Nyborg on Sunday.
When asked whether Copenhagen has a concrete plan should the US resort to military action against Greenland, she declined to outline specific contingency measures, stressing instead that the issue must be addressed at a deeper, strategic level, according to a broadcaster.
Frederiksen warned that the situation goes beyond immediate concerns: “What is at stake is bigger than what the eye can see, because if what we are experiencing from the American side is that one is in reality turning one’s back on the Western alliance, turning one’s back on our NATO cooperation by threatening an ally, something we have not experienced before, then everything stops there.”
Trump has insisted that Washington would “do something about Greenland,” cautioning that if it does not occur “the easy way,” it would happen “the hard way.”
He further claimed that China or Russia could otherwise gain control of the Arctic territory.
Frederiksen also highlighted an upcoming meeting between the foreign ministers of the US, Denmark, and Greenland, emphasizing that the objective would be to firmly assert the Danish realm’s stance. “There are things we cannot compromise on,” she said.
“In our time, there will be moments where you can only choose between what is right and what is wrong, and this is one of them.”
