Arfin, Donald Trump seems increasingly intent on international conquest. First he attacked Venezuela with air strikes and abducted its president — subsequently referring to himself as the country's 'Acting President' on social media. Now, he has made it clear he wants to expand his domain to include Greenland, a self-governing Arctic nation that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
International leaders have tried to calm the situation, but Trump has remained adamant that he plans to make Greenland part of the U.S. "whether they like it or not," saying that it would happen "either the nice way or the more difficult way." He's even suggested he might use the U.S. military to forcefully take over the massive icy island.
Yesterday, leaders from the governments of the U.S., Greenland, and Denmark met in Washington, D.C. to see if they could find a way out of this nightmare. But the talks apparently ended in a stalemate.
As the Prime Minister for Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said: "We are now facing a geopolitical crisis. If we have to choose between the US and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark, NATO and the EU." If that's the case, then the European Union should genuinely offer Greenland the option to become a member state in its community. Currently, Denmark is a member of the EU, but Greenland is not. As Trump increasingly targets Greenland, the EU has a moral obligation to allow Greenland the option to join its ranks as a proper alternative to U.S. military conquest.
It is up to Greenlanders to decide what they want to do with their country and their land. But one option before them should be the possibility of joining the European Union. Sign the petition to urge EU leaders to offer Greenland EU membership to further boost its safety and security! |
