The possibility of an American attachment of Greenland reinstates the Donald Trumpeven making new threats to use military violence, warnings that the US president has made many times in the past.
And the argument? America has a “great need” in Greenland from the point of view of national security interests, as Donald Trump has typically said in an interview with the NBC News television network and broadcast a whole Sunday (04.05.25).
Asked whether or not he excludes the use of military violence, he replied: ‘I do not exclude it. I’m not saying I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything. “
‘Greenland has a very small population, Where we will take care, we will love all that. But we need it for international security, “he insisted.
For months, the US president expresses his desire for Greenland to become “part” of the USalthough the island is an autonomous area of the Kingdom of Denmark, and has never ruled the use of military violence for this purpose.
During his first term, Donald Trump had also caused irritation in Europe, throwing the idea Washington to “buy” the largest island on the planet.
From a geographical point of view, Greenland is part of the Epirus of North America that extends to the Arctic. The huge island is characterized by a significant World climate for the Arctic military control.
It is also considered to have rich subsoil, especially in rare land and hydrocarbons, while from the area where they are passing through Marine roads that progressively become more important.
Governments of both Greenland and Denmark do not stop rejecting the ambitions of the 45th and 47th US President.
Donald Trump also repeatedly expressed the desire to see the Canada to become the “51st state” of the US – even described its former prime minister Justin Trinto “Governor” – and his positions on the issue are considered to have played a decisive role in the recent election result in that country, the victory of the Liberals of Mr Trino’s successor, Mark Karni, although up to even 25 percentage points in the polls were behind.
In an interview with NBC News, the Republican made it clear, however It does not consider the military option for Canada’s annexation.
Development of an American Army against CARD in Mexico
US President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday to reporters who accompanied him on the presidential aircraft that he proposed to his Mexican counterpart Sheenbaum Develop data from the US Armed Forces in Mexico to help treat drug cartels.
On the weekend, President Seinbaum announced that it rejected the idea.
Donald Trump told reporters on the aircraft he returned from Florida yesterday to Washington capital that he made the offer This is because drug cartel members are ‘horrible guys’ that have caused thousands of deaths. ‘If Mexico wanted our help to deal with the CartelsA was our honor to go to do it“, He added.
Asked if he was frustrated by the fact that Claudia Seinbaum broke this idea, Donald Trump replied “I think she’s a lovable woman” but “He is so scared of cartels that he cannot think right.”
‘National sovereignty is not sold’
President Seinbaum, elected with a nationalist leftist party, said on Saturday that he rejected the offer recently made by Mr Trump because ‘The national sovereignty (of Mexico) is not sold’. He was answering a question about a Wall Street Journal report on May 2nd when the US president put pressure on the US Armed Forces to mix operations against cartels.
The president of Mexico said it was “true” that such a proposal was made, but adds, however “Not as they present it.”
She explained that during their conference, her counterpart asked her how she could help and in this context she suggested sending data to the US Armed Forces.
“I replied” no, President Trump, the territorial integrity (of Mexico) is inviolable, national sovereignty is inviolable (…) We would never accept the presence of the US Army in our territory. “
He added, however, that the two countries would continue to work in the fight against drug trafficking.
A US National Security Council spokesman reported yesterday that Donald Trump expects Mexico to do more to combat cartel action and that the US Army is ready to assist.
The Republican has publicly and repeatedly stated that he could unilaterally order the US army to intervene in Mexico if the country’s authorities are unable to press the cartels. However, the leaders of the two states have been talking quite often, about security issues, commerce and immigration.
On the other hand, Mrs Seinbaum said on Saturday that she asked her counterpart to brake the trafficking of arms to the gangs, with the backdrop of the wave of violence that has cost nearly half a million people for the last twenty years, something that he agreed with.
