US EditionDanish, Greenland Pms to Meet After Trump Climbdown
The meeting will focus on Arctic security and renegotiating the 1951 defense pact after US President Trump withdrew Greenland seizure threats, officials said.
- On Friday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen will travel from Brussels to Nuuk to meet Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Chair of the Naalakkersuisut, to discuss Arctic security focused on security issues.
- Following a US climbdown after threats, Donald Trump, US President, agreed a framework with Mark Rutte, Dutch Prime Minister, prompting urgent talks and pausing Greenlandic independence efforts.
- Officials say renegotiation of the 1951 defence pact will be part of talks, as Denmark's public broadcaster DR reported Danish troops deployed to Greenland were ordered armed and ready.
- Danish government and Greenlandic government officials say talks will start soon and `we will get those meetings started fairly quickly`, but `we will not communicate when those meetings are` to `take the drama out`.
- Historic grievances and autonomy debates matter because Denmark and Greenland stress sovereignty is a "red line" and only they have mandates to make deals, with Greenland's around 57,000 inhabitants and colonial grievances central, says Ulrik Pram Gad.
