US President Donald Trump says the United States needs to take over responsibility Greenland For the sake of “global peace”, as it doubles his ambitions to include resource -rich in Danish lands.

“We are not talking about peace for the United States. We are talking about world peace. We are talking about international security,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

On Friday, Vice President JD Vance, his wife and other American officials visited an American military base in Greenland on a journey that was expanded after a stir between Greenland and Danmarin who were angry that the original flight line had been planned without consulting them.

Soon after his arrival, Vans addressed the American forces stationed at the base where he and his wife sat for lunch with them, saying he was “really interested in the Arctic security” and that if the United States did not take the initiative in the region like China and Russia.

“Our argument is not with the people of Greenland, who I think they do not believe and have a great opportunity here. Our argument is in fact with the leadership of Denmark, who was not invested in Greenland and did not understand it in the structure of security,” said Vans, who was also scheduled to receive a briefing from military officials. “This must change simply. It is the US policy that will change.”

The revised journey to the Danish sub-region comes at a time when relations between the United States and the northern state were strained after Trump repeatedly suggested that the United States, in a form, controls the land-rich lands controlled by Denmark-traditional expense of the United States and NATO member.

On Friday, a single day visit to the United States Space website in Pituffik, on the northwestern coast of Greenland, removed the danger of violating the diplomatic custom by sending a delegation to another country without an official invitation. He also reduced the possibility of Vans and his wife, which crosses the paths with the population that was angered by Trump’s ads.

His delegation included the National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, and Energy Minister Chris Wright, as well as the second lady Usha Vance.

Al -Jazeera correspondent Rorrei Challands says that Vans’s message was aiming to persuade Al -Jazeera residents away from Denmark by noting that a partnership with the United States will have more to advance.

“I think what Vans was trying to do is very clear. His strategy was clear: he is trying to drive a wedge between Greenland and Denmark,” Chaallands of Nocks, Greenland said. “He was criticizing the Danish, saying mainly that they neglected Greenland’s security.”

“We must adhere together”

Before the arrival of Vans, four of the five parties that were elected to the Greenland Parliament earlier this month signed an agreement to form a large -scale alliance government. The parties gathered together in the face of Trump’s designs on the region.

“It is time that we are under pressure as a resident,” said Prime Minister Jenus Friedrich Nielsen, before signing the agreement on applause and chants in the capital.

“We must adhere together. We are together stronger.”

In a post on Instagram, Danish Prime Minister Miti Frederksen Nielsen congratulated his upcoming government, and said, “I am looking to cooperate at an unnecessary time.”

Friedrixen said on Tuesday that the US visit, which was originally appointed for three days, created “unacceptable pressure.” She said Denmark wants to work with the United States for defense and security, but Greenland belongs to Greenland.

Initially, Usha Vans announced a single trip to the Avenata Kimosro dog race in Cisyimriot. Then her husband said that he would join her on that trip, only to change the journey line again-after protests from Greenland and Denmark-to a one-day visit by the spouses to the military position only.

However, in an interview on Wednesday, Trump repeated his desire to control Greenland. In response to a question whether people there were “excited” to become American citizens, Trump said he does not know “but I think we must do this, and we have to persuade them.”

A little crazy

Nuk residents, about 1500 km (930 miles), south of Pituffik, expressed concern about Vans and the US interest in their island.

Cora Hui, 22, said that Vans “is welcome if he wants to see him, but of course, Greenland is not for sale.” “It is not normal here” with all the attention that Greenland receives. “I feel now every day [Trump] I just want to stay away from it. “

“Everything is a bit crazy. Of course, the population has shook a bit here,” said Anwk Kresensen, 30, said. “My opinion is like everyone: of course, you do not do things this way. You don’t come here and say you want to buy the place.”

As the marine portal approaches the North Pole and the North Atlantic Ocean of North America, Greenland has a wider strategic value as China and Russia seek to reach its waterways and natural resources.

During his first term, Trump put forward the idea of ​​buying the largest island in the world, even when Denmark insisted that it was not for sale. Greenland also rejected Trump’s plans.

Vance has long criticized European allies for a long time to rely on military support from the United States, and to strike partners with ways to generate concerns about the reliability of the United States.
