Greenland is a democratic country. However, Nielsen was adamant in pointing out the differences: 'Our country is not comparable to Venezuela.' Copenhagen, January 6 — The Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, urgently called on his population 'not to give in to panic' after Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention to control the autonomous Danish territory following the military incursion into Venezuela. According to the Argentine News Agency, the capture of Nicolás Maduro by US forces revived fears of a similar intervention on the Arctic island. 'It's enough for communication to be done through the media,' Nielsen demanded. The warning from Trump's 'troika' Tensions escalated with statements from Stephen Miller, a key Trump advisor and husband of the former official who published a map of Greenland with an American flag and the legend 'SOON'. In an interview with CNN, Miller dismissed Danish sovereignty and uttered a phrase that resonated as a veiled threat: 'No one is going to fight militarily against the United States for the future of Greenland!' 'Harden the tone' towards Washington Although he tried to reassure by stating that 'the situation is not such that the United States can conquer Greenland', the Greenlandic head of government warned that his government would 'harden the tone' diplomatically. 'We have been so for many, many years.' Trump, for his part, promised to deal with the issue 'in a couple of months'. NATO as a shield From Denmark, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reminded that an attack on a member of the Atlantic alliance would have global consequences: 'If the United States were to choose to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop'.
