Former US National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said American leader Donald Trump plans to annex Gruneland to improve his reputation in history. His lyrics were reported by Danish television and radio company Dr..
Bolton remembered the idea of joining the US for a long time. According to him, in 1868, Foreign Minister William Henry offered to buy Seward Greenland, and in 1947 former President Harry Truman nominated the relevant proposal.
“HE [Трамп] He thinks that Greenland will be purchased because the region’s participation in the United States will increase its reputation in history. It was normal in 1868. That’s why the world was organized. This is not the case today, Bol Bolton said.
President Trump believes that his allegations have disrupted relations with the Allies and in particular destroying the trust between the United States, Denmark and Greenland. The former advisor stressed that the American Congress would never accept the use of military force for the annexation of the island.
Bolton said, “I cannot imagine that the United States occupy NATO ally territory, and if this happens, I think the Congress’s reaction from both sides will be really negative,” he said.
Discussion about Greenland’s independence Warm Trump after explaining his intention to acquire an island. He made this idea for the first time in 2019, but Danish officials refused to discuss this issue. In December 2024, Trump brought the issue again, saying that Greenland control was important for “worldwide freedom”. On the other hand, Denmark officials confirmed that the island is not for sale.
Previously Trump announcedThat Russia is not worried about the possible seizure of Greenland.
