Leader of former Danish colony, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, condemns US ‘threats’ as Nordic neighbours offer support

Greenland has urged Donald Trump to give up his “fantasies about annexation” after the US president, fresh from his military operation in Venezuela, again threatened to take over the Arctic territory.

In a bracingly direct statement, the Greenlandic prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, accused the US of “completely and utterly unacceptable” rhetoric, declaring: “Enough is enough.”

On Sunday, Trump said the US needed Greenland “very badly” – renewing fears of a US invasion of the largely autonomous island, which is a former Danish colony and remains part of the Danish kingdom. Greenland’s foreign and security policy continues to be controlled by Copenhagen.

    or the EU will refuse to settle payments in US dollars, and will divest itself of them (leaving euro and yuan as world currencies)

    This is already a train that has left the station, Europe is waiting until the last minute because they’re currently complicit in American war crimes and are gambling on the American empire’s survival, but they will join mBridge soon enough.

    Saudi Arabia joined, the US petrodollar is already dead. One day, your USD spending power will drop by half or more over night. America’s ability to finance their war machine will disappear, and people will finally suddenly have a conscience and demand end to Israeli support, they’re fucked too.

    The Venezuela attacks are an open admission that the US empire is collapsing and in panic mode. The oil they steal won’t last forever, and they’ll have to compete with Saudi Arabia which will ditch the dollar.
