Nato and Greenland\u2019s government said they plan to step up cooperation to strengthen the defence of the Danish autonomous territory, in a move aimed at deterring US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring the island.<\/p>\n
Facing the possibility of annexation by force, Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said he was placing his trust in the US-led Nato alliance. \u201cOur security and defence belong in Nato. That is a fundamental and unwavering position,\u201d Nielsen said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n
He added that his government would work to ensure that defence developments in and around Greenland are carried out in close cooperation with Nato, in consultation with allies \u2014 including the United States \u2014 and in partnership with Denmark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nato and Greenland\u2019s government said they plan to step up cooperation to strengthen the defence of the Danish…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-403888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
