Today in Denmark, the buzz revolves around F-35s, Greenland, meteorite hunts, and power outages. Check it out!
Defending the Skies: Danish Purchase of US F-35s
Despite heated relations between Donald Trump and Denmark over Greenland, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen maintains that purchasing more US F-35 fighter jets is still a go. This decision follows a substantial increase in defense spending. The exact details of future orders remain under wraps, as Poulsen's department stayed tight-lipped when queried by AFP.
With questions swirling about the wisdom of continuing weapons purchases from the United States due to Trump’s rapprochements with Russia and aggressive remarks towards Canada and Greenland, Poulsen still vehemently believes it's unrealistic to halt cooperation with the U.S. Regarding F-35s.
Greenland: Trump's Steadfast Pursuit
Trump has once again expressed his intent on acquiring Greenland, emphasizing its importance for "international security." As Vice President JD Vance prepares for a visit, Trump insisted that the U.S. needs control of the Danish island. When asked if Greenlanders were eager to join the U.S., Trump expressed uncertainty and claimed, "We have to convince them."
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen responded to Trump’s comments, claiming they knew Greenland was not for sale and that the Greenlanders were adamantly against joining the U.S.
