The European Union and NATO have taken a vow of silence on Greenland after Denmark requested its allies to refrain from responding to Donald Trump’s threats to seize the Arctic Island.

The Copenhagen strategy of avoiding the public confrontation with Trump, which said four officials who are closely coordinated with NATO and the European Union, emphasizes a stampede between American allies to learn how to deal with the US President’s diplomacy.

Trump made a 45 -minute phone call with Prime Minister in Denmark Metty Friedriksen last week, and put Copenhagen in what officials described as “the crisis situation.” Trump threatened to target the definitions against Denmark and refused to exclude taking the Arctic Island by force.

Trump repeated this weekend that he would “get” Greenland – an independent part of the Kingdom of Denmark – while mocking the “dogs’ slope “in Copenhagen, where the United States has the largest military presence.

The United States, through NATO, is a military ally of Denmark with a joint defense agreement. The Treaty of Governance on the European Union also contains a common defense item.

Danish and European officials initially hoped that Trump’s comments about Greenland would be a tactic to gain more influence on the region, which increased the importance of Russia and China in the Arctic.

In recent days, one of the officials said that the situation “must be taken seriously,” given the global monuments of Nayno or the European Union failed to condemn the violation of national sovereignty by one of their allies.

But the Danish officials, the European Union and NATO have so far decided to reduce the general debate due to the deep sensitivities of Copenhagen and its conclusion that the Trump challenge Upper Egypt will only exacerbate the crisis.

“It seems that the low attention is the safest bet with Trump. We hope he will distract him from something else.”

Another senior European Union official said. [But] We all stand by our basic principles, such as national sovereignty and regional safety, which must be respected. We are ready, and the Danish defines it, to reaffirm it whenever the need arises. “

On Tuesday, Friedrixen will visit German Chancellor Olaf Schools in Berlin, French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and the Secretary -General of NATO Mark Retty in Brussels on a whistle diplomatic tour.

Friedrixen met her Norwegian and Swedish counterparts and President of Finland in Copenhagen on Sunday evening, as the Greenland case was raised in discussions.

No joint advertisement was issued after the meeting. There were no efforts to coordinate NATO or the European Union in defending Denmark or Greenland.

When asked about Trump Greenland’s comments, Roti told the European Parliament last week: “Trump was right several times. We needed to dialogue with him.”

“This is not a matter of governing or controlling Greenland,” Root continued. “This, of course, is about making sure that the Arctic remains safe.” The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Lynn, nor the European Council, Antonio Costa, did not indicate public statements about Trump’s threats against Denmark.

“We are not negotiating with Greenland. European Union diplomat, Kaja Calas, said on Monday after a meeting of ministers abroad.” We are looking at it by Europe, not responding to what the United States is doing. “

Behind the scenes, senior officials in Brussels, Copenhagen and Nok discuss how the mass can enhance its partnership with Greenland about extracting raw materials and energy, according to two European officials in discussions.

“There are many secret works that are now happening to find out how we can enhance cooperation with Greenland,” said one of the officials. They added that the European Union wanted to avoid appearing like the European Union was making an offer, after years of failure to work, “because Trump put it on the agenda.”

Rasmos Jarlof, a former Danish minister and a current deputy from the opposition Conservative Party, said that the Friedrixen government “is doing the right thing to communicate with the Americans in a strong but polite way.”

It is a good idea not to participate in verbal exchanges with the Trump administration. It is good to talk to the allies [the] The rest of Europe should stand together if the situation is escalating. “

Some officials have raised concerns about whether Europe can provide any reliable response to Trump to his threats regarding Greenland.

“I do not say that there is no plan,” the second European official said. “But we have no alternative approach.”
