Rome, 18 May (LaPresse) – Over the past four months, negotiators from the United States, Greenland and Denmark have held confidential talks in Washington on the future of the Arctic island. The aim of the talks, reports the New York Times, was to offer President Trump an alternative to threats of military intervention in Greenland and to defuse a crisis that risks fracturing the NATO alliance. But Greenlandic leaders, reports the NYT, are concerned about the proposals, which envisage a much more significant US role on the island. Furthermore, they fear that if the conflict with Iran were to ease, Trump might turn his aggression back on them. Some Greenlandic politicians say they have even circled a date on the calendar that could prove crucial: 14 June, Trump’s birthday.
