The US Vice President is complaining about … cold in the Arctic.
The United States needs Greenland for international security and peace, US President Donald Trump said today, adding that there were Chinese and Russian ships in this area, which Washington cannot leave Dan’s “care”.
“We need Greenland. Mostly, for international security, we must have Greenland, “he repeated many times speaking to reporters at the White House.
“If you see the sea channels, we have Chinese and Russian ships everywhere (…) We are not relying on Denmark or anyone else to take care of this situation,” he added.
US Vice President J. D. Vans, who arrived a little earlier at the US base of Pitufik, in the North of Greenland, said that US interest in Arctic security would continue to grow in the coming decades, implying that Trump would not stop his efforts to put him under his efforts.
Vance welcomed the US soldiers serving on this secluded base, 1,200 kilometers north of the Arctic circle, and thanked them for their services. “The president is really interested in Arctic security, as you all know and this will grow in the coming decades,” the US vice president said.
On his arrival at the base, Vance commented that “here he is doing a bastard and no one told me”, causing the laughter of the attendees. The temperature in Pitoufik was -19 degrees Celsius.
Vance’s wife, USA, US National Security Advisor Mike Walts and Energy Minister Chris Wright, also participate in the US delegation.
Greenland’s new Prime Minister Yen Frederick Nilsen said earlier that this visit was implying a “lack of respect” to the Greenlanders, whom he called to show unity against “external pressure”.
The King of Denmark also issued a statement of support to the Greenlanders. “We live in an alternative reality. Have no doubt that my love for Greenland and its people are intact, “King Frederick said in this post on the internet.
The original plan of the US was to visit Greenland, his wife Vans and Walts to watch a dog -colored fight, although they had not been invited by either Greenland authorities or those of Denmark. Due to the intense protests, the delegation eventually chose to go only to the military base and not meet with citizens.
On the basis of the terms of the 1951 agreement, the US can visit the base whenever they wish, as long as they inform Greenland and Copenhagen.
First US-Prime Minister Canada President
US President Donald Trump said he had a constructive telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney today, and that the two leaders will meet after the Canadian parliamentary elections, in their first communication after taking over as a new one. Allies.
“It was an extremely constructive communication, we agree on many things and we will meet shortly after the upcoming elections in Canada to work on policy, business and all other issues,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
This collaboration “will end up being excellent for both the US and Canada,” he added, in a Republican tone change and a climate change in the strained relationships of the once traditional allies.
Carney and his office have not yet released a statement on this telephone communication.
This communication comes one day after the Canadian prime minister’s statements that said the era of close cooperation with the US was “finished”, as the neighboring country is no longer a “reliable partner”. “The old relationship we had with the US, based on the increasingly deeper completion of our economies and close cooperation with security and defense, has ended,” he said during a press conference.
Yesterday Wednesday, Trump announced the imposition of a 25% customs duties on imported vehicles. The measure was added to customs duties imposed by his government on steel and aluminum.
The two men had not spoken after Carney, replacing Justin Trinto on March 14, took over as prime minister.
Canada has been in the vortex of an unprecedented crisis since Trump launched a trade war against him and has repeatedly expressed a desire to turn Canada into a “51st US State”.
