Scandinavian countries circled the wagons on Sunday and took a defiant posture against President Donald Trump’s continued threats to capture Greenland by force if Denmark refused to make a deal and sell its territory to the US.
Speaking at the “People and Defense” Annual Conference hosted by his country, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson lamented Trump’s “threatening rhetoric” and promised that “Sweden, the Nordic countries, the Baltic states, and several major European countries stand together with our Danish friends.”
He went on to say that a US takeover of Greenland would be “a violation of international law and risks encouraging other countries to act in exactly the same way”.
Also attending the defense symposium in Sweden was Alexus G. Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe and a General in the US Air Force, who delivered an address there about threats to the Alliance’s security in the Arctic.
