Denmark Sets Up 'Night Watch' In Response To Trump's Threats To Annex Greenland: Report
HuffPost
The U.S. president has not ruled out taking the island by force.
Denmark has implemented a special “night watch” in its foreign ministry in Copenhagen in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland, the semi-autonomous Danish territory, according to a new report released Wednesday.
Trump has said he would not rule out taking the island by force, asserting that the U.S. must control the territory for national security.
“We need Greenland very badly,” Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker in May.
This rhetoric has seemingly rattled Denmark, which has repeatedly said the island “is not for sale,” now prompting the country to take further measures.
A Politiken newspaper report cited by The Guardian said the Danish foreign ministry set up the daily “night watch” starting at 5 p.m. local time to ensure the Scandinavian country is prepared to respond to potential emergencies. The ministry then circulates a morning report with departments across the Danish government detailing any relevant overnight statements or developments, according to The Guardian.
