Trump renews Greenland threats at NATO summit, says U.S. could remove troops from Europe
-President Donald Trump on Tuesday resurrected his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland.
-He suggested the U.S. could pull its troops from Europe in response to the Continent's continued pushback on the issue.
-Trump's comments came shortly after he arrived in Ankara, Turkey, for a NATO -summit.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday resurrected his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, and suggested the U.S. could pull all of its armed services members out of Europe in response to the Continent's continued pushback on the issue.

The island territory "should be controlled by the United States," Trump said shortly after he arrived in Ankara, Turkey, for a NATO summit.

The 32-member alliance - which includes Denmark, of which Greenland is a part - fell into a crisis in January, as Trump demanded that the U.S. must take control of the island territory on national security grounds.

In a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday afternoon Ankara time, Trump vented that Europe's refusal to go along with his expansionist desire is "what hurt my relationship with NATO."

"Because Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland, but it's an important part for the United States," Trump told reporters.

"And it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships, and that's not going to happen, the ships, is, it's not going to happen," he said, repeating claims about foreign military threats against the self-governing island that experts on Greenland have denied.

Greenland "should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark," Trump went on. "And when they wouldn't go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia - we don't have to spend any money."

"We could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe," he said. "Because as you probably noticed, Europe's a very different place than it was 20 years ago."

"And they better be careful," Trump went on, speaking broadly about Europe, "with immigration and energy. If they're not careful with those two things, you're not going to have a Europe anymore."

He then ended the portion of the meeting that was open to the press.

Trump's comments thrust Greenland, a vast, sparsely populated and largely frozen Arctic island, back into the geopolitical spotlight.

The U.S. president's pursuit of Greenland had become a major trans-Atlantic issue at the start of the year, sparked by Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. needed to acquire the island. Greenlandic lawmakers have insisted the island is not for sale.

Trump, who had refused to rule out the use of military force to annex Greenland, abruptly announced in late January, however, that he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had formed a "framework of a future deal" with respect to the territory.

A working group of representatives from the U.S., Denmark and Greenland have since been meeting to discuss the way forward.

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen reportedly said late last month that he expects the working group to find a solution by the end of the year.

Asked Tuesday about Trump's latest comments on Greenland, Finnish President Alexander Stubb told CNBC's Steve Sedgwick: "Be more Arctic, be more cool. If it is about Arctic security, we have seven countries that are Arctic nations in the alliance."

He added: "Finland has trained 1 million soldiers in Arctic conditions; we basically live in Arctic conditions. Let's keep that in mind. Let's, you know, continue the process that the Danes, the Americans and the Greenlanders have."

Danish PM's party suffers worst election result in over a century - exit polls
Migration and welfare concerns have outweighed support for Mette Frederiksen's defiant stance toward the US over Greenland, analysts say

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats party has suffered its worst election result in over a century, securing about 21.9% of the vote in Tuesday's general election - its lowest share since 1903 - according to exit polls.

While the party will remain the largest in the Folketing, the Danish parliament, it is projected to drop to 38 seats from 50. The entire left-leaning bloc appears short of a majority, with the Social Democrats, Liberals, and Moderates seen winning 84 seats in the 179-seat parliament, below the 90 needed.

Right-leaning parties are expected to secure at least 77 seats, setting the stage for coalition talks that could take weeks and leaving Frederiksen's bid for a third term uncertain, analysts said. The Moderates, led by Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, are expected to play kingmaker with 14 seats.

In power since 2019, 48-year-old Frederiksen is known for her backing of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and a restrictive migration stance.

She called the election way ahead of the October deadline, with experts suggesting she aimed to capitalize on public support for her opposition to US President Donald Trump's threats to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark in the Arctic which Trump has claimed is crucial to US security. Talks over Greenland's role in NATO continue, though tensions eased after Trump's meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte in January, where a "framework of a future deal" was announced.

Analysts say domestic issues - notably rising living costs and strain on welfare - overshadowed Frederiksen's geopolitical stance. Voters cited rising prices for food, housing, and energy driving a protest vote. Her proposed 0.5% wealth tax on assets above 25 million kroner ($3.8 million) drew criticism as harmful to the economy. Some voters also saw her as too lenient on immigration, despite one of the EU's toughest systems, including temporary refugee status and strict integration rules. Frederiksen insisted she is ready to remain prime minister despite warning coalition talks will be "difficult."

"The world is unsettled. There are strong winds around us," she said. "Denmark needs a stable, competent government. We are ready to take the lead."

US spying on Danish military bases in Greenland - media
Copenhagen is reportedly concerned about a possible American invasion of its Arctic possession

The US army has sought intelligence on key Danish military installations, airfields, and ports in Greenland that could be used for an invasion of the island, Berlingske newspaper reported Sunday, citing Defense Ministry documents.

According to the outlet, the Americans have been collecting sensitive information about strategic military sites on Denmark's autonomous Arctic territory, in violation of existing bilateral agreements between Copenhagen and Washington.

The revelation comes amid US President Donald Trump's efforts to assert control over the world's biggest island, which is rich in minerals, but has a population of just 56,000.

Trump argues that Greenland is critical for the US to counter Russia and China in the Arctic, a claim that has been denied by Copenhagen, Moscow, and Beijing.

Trump's initiative has created a rift between the US and its European NATO allies, who have rejected any changes to Greenland's status. They warn that the US is undermining international law and the unity of the military bloc.

In response, Trump announced tariffs on eight European NATO countries - Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland - which had sent symbolic military contingents to Greenland last week. The White House viewed the step as opposition to Trump's takeover plans, escalating tensions further.

Amid the diplomatic turmoil, analysts cited by Berlingske raised concerns about increased US intelligence operations in the region. Danish authorities reportedly find the episode particularly alarming, fearing it may be linked to political pressure by Washington or even the potential use of force to take control of Greenland.

Commenting on the spy scandal, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the Wall Street Journal he was greatly worried because ''we do not spy on friends."Kekyeah sure!

I cannot 'promise' the US will remain in NATO - Stoltenberg
17 Jan, 2026 15:33

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said he cannot promise that the US will remain in the bloc in a recent interview with Der Spiegel. He added that European countries must take Washington seriously when it says it wants to take over Greenland.
US President Donald Trump has recently renewed his push to annex the mineral-rich Arctic island, and has refused to rule out withdrawing the US from NATO if the bloc opposes his ambitions, escalating tensions with European allies and calling into question the future unity of the organization.

Stoltenberg welcomed the European response, pointing to joint statements from the Nordic countries, Germany, and other European states backing Copenhagen and reaffirming that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
He added that respecting the sovereignty of NATO allies is essential. "We must engage with the United States, which also means speaking up when we disagree," the former NATO chief said.

Denmark insists the island is not for sale and that its future must be decided by its residents, who voted in 2008 to retain their autonomy within the Danish realm, which includes the right to regulate mining.
Trump claims that only US sovereignty can protect the island from being taken over by China or Russia - an allegation dismissed by both countries.

He warned on Friday that he could impose tariffs on US trading partners that refuse to support his push to acquire Greenland.
After meetings in Washington last week, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen acknowledged a "fundamental disagreement" but said he hoped a newly established bilateral working group would help resolve the issue.

France has warned Washington that any attempt to seize Greenland would be 'crossing the line' and threaten economic ties with the EU, the Financial Times reported this week.
Denmark has teamed up with France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and the UK to send small contingents of troops to the island ahead of the bloc's Arctic Endurance exercises later next week.

US Lawmakers Visit Denmark to Support Greenland in Face of Trump Pressure Campaign
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/trump-greenland/2026/01/16/id/1242437/
Friday, 16 January 2026 03:25 PM EST

A bipartisan U.S. Congress delegation visited Copenhagen on Friday to voice support for Denmark and Greenland, insisting that President Donald Trump's designs on the Arctic island did not have the backing of the American people.

The two-day visit comes alongside a European show of support in the form of a military reconnaissance mission to Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory.

But Trump, insisting the United States needed Greenland for its "national security", on Friday warned in Washington he "may put a tariff" on countries that oppose that stance.

The 11 visiting U.S. lawmakers held talks with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her Greenlandic counterpart Jens-Frederik Nielsen, as well as Denmark's foreign and defence ministers, members of parliament and business leaders.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski said there was "good dialogue" in the meetings, and stressed it was important to "nurture" ties between the United States, Denmark and Greenland.

"When you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority some 75 percent will say, 'We do not think that that is a good idea'," Murkowski told reporters.

"Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset," she said.

The delegation's visit follows a meeting in Washington on Wednesday at which Danish representatives said Copenhagen and Washington were in "fundamental disagreement" over the future of Greenland.

Dem Sen. Chris Coons said the purpose of the Congress members' two-day visit to Copenhagen was to "listen respectfully to our friends, our trusted allies and partners here in Denmark and from Greenland".

The lawmakers were then to return to the U.S. "and share those perspectives so that we can lower the temperature and have a more constructive dialogue about the best path forward", he said.

In Greenland's capital Nuuk, residents welcomed the show of support.

"Congress would never approve of a military action in Greenland. It's just one idiot speaking," a 39-year-old union representative told AFP.

"If he (Trump) does it, he'll get impeached or kicked out. If people in Congress want to save their own democracy, they have to step up," said the union rep, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Denmark a NATO ally for, in his view, not doing enough to ensure Greenland's security.

The president has pursued that argument, despite strategically located Greenland as part of Denmark being covered by NATO's security umbrella.

Military personnel were more visible in Nuuk on Friday, according to an AFP journalist, days after Denmark said it was beefing up its defence on the island.

"I don't think troops in Europe impact the president's decision-making process, nor does it impact his goal of the acquisition of Greenland at all," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen retorted that a US acquisition of Greenland was "out of the question".

The European troop deployment in Greenland for a military exercise is aimed at "sending a signal" to "everyone", including the United States, that European countries are determined to "defend (their) sovereignty", French armed forces minister Alice Rufo said.

Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have announced the deployment of small numbers of military personnel to prepare for future exercises in the Arctic.

"A first team of French service members is already on site and will be reinforced in the coming days with land, air and maritime assets," French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday.

Large demonstrations were planned across Denmark and Greenland on Saturday to protest against Trump's territorial ambitions.

Thousands of people have taken to social networks to say they intend to take part in the protests organized by Greenlandic associations in Nuuk and Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense.

German troops 'to touch down in Greenland in a matter of hours' as Danish leader says country is still stuck in a 'fundamental disagreement' with the US over the island after 'frank' meeting

Denmark and the US are stuck in a 'fundamental disagreement' over Greenland after leaders from both countries met for talks in Washington earlier today.

Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said the meeting with vice president JD Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio was 'frank' and 'constructive' but admitted work was needed to 'find a common way forward'.

'The discussions focused on how to ensure the long-term security in Greenland, and here our perspectives continue to differ,' Mr Rasmussen told reporters after joining Greenland's foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, for the talks.

'I must say the president has made his view clear and we have a different position,' he added.

Donald Trump is trying to make the case to seize control of the island because of its location, its mineral resources and rising Russian and Chinese military activity in the region - and has not ruled out the use of force.

His warnings have ignited worry among European countries, especially following the US attack on Venezuela last week.

Danish defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced an increase in Denmark's 'military presence and exercise activity' on Greenland on Tuesday, while soldiers from from Sweden are also en route.

Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on X on Wednesday that, 'Some officers from the Swedish Armed Forces are arriving in Greenland today,' as part of a group from several allied countries.

And Germany is also reportedly planning to send troops to the island as part of a 'reconnaissance team' seeking to 'deter potential external aggressors and protect the alliance's territory', German news outlet Bild reported.

The team will comprise of 13 members of the Bundeswehr - Germany's Armed Forces - and they will only stay in the country for two days, according to the BBC.

The hens are clucking again
UK, Germany Discuss NATO Forces In Greenland To Calm US Threat
By Alberto Nardelli, Alex Wickham and Michael Nienaber Bloomberg January 11, 2026

Jan 11, 2026 (Bloomberg) -A group of European countries, led by the UK and Germany, is discussing plans for a military presence in Greenland to show US President Donald Trump that the continent is serious about Arctic security and to try to tamp down American threats to take over the self-ruling Danish territory.

Germany will propose setting up a joint NATO mission to protect the Arctic region, according to people familiar with the plans. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has separately urged allies to step up their security presence in the High North and recently reached out to leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss the issue.

The US raid to capture the leader of Venezuela this month, as well as heightened rhetoric from the Trump administration on possibly using military force to control Greenland, has forced European leaders to quickly cobble together a strategy. They want to show that Europe and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have the region's security under control, as they try to undercut Trump's argument for taking over Greenland, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul will meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week, when he'll address the issue of Greenland and what role NATO can play in the region's stability.

"Because security in the Arctic is becoming increasingly important, I also want to discuss on my trip how we can best bear this responsibility in NATO - in view of old and new rivalries in the region by Russia and China - together," Wadephul said in a statement on Sunday. "We want to discuss this together in NATO."

While Trump has long mused about making Greenland a part of the US for national security reasons, his focus on the self-governing island has intensified in recent days following the US raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicol?s Maduro.

That action sparked new fears among allies over Trump's willingness to deploy the military to achieve his foreign policy goals. His fiery rhetoric over Greenland has spurred a flurry of diplomatic activity as officials try to ascertain his intentions.

Speaking about Greenland on Friday, Trump told reporters, "I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."

Germany will propose establishing a NATO mission called "Arctic Sentry" to secure the region, according to the people. The alliance's "Baltic Sentry" mission, which was launched a year ago to shield critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, would serve as a blueprint.

Starmer's view is that Britain and Europe are best served by persuading Trump of their soft and hard power utility to the US on issues from Russia's war in Ukraine to American security closer to home, people familiar with the matter said. It contrasts with the more publicly critical stance adopted by countries like France, which this week warned that Europe was under threat from American coercion.

Starmer spoke with Trump last week and "discussed Euro-Atlantic security and agreed on the need to deter an increasingly aggressive Russia in the High North," Downing Street said. "The NATO alliance needed to step up in the region," Starmer told Macron and Merz.

For now, Denmark is still hoping a diplomatic trip to Washington this coming week can temper Trump. The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland, Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Vivian Motzfeldt, are aiming to confront what Copenhagen says are persistent factual errors and exaggerated security claims driving the debate.

While the president has said he won't rule out military force to acquire the Arctic island, Rubio late Tuesday told lawmakers the aim is to buy Greenland rather than staging an intervention that could test the future of NATO.

"The legitimate interests of all NATO allies, but also those of the inhabitants of the region, must be at the heart of our considerations," Wadephul said. "Of course, this also applies to Greenland and its people."

Trump explains why US 'needs Greenland'

23 Dec, 2025 09:22

The US needs Greenland for its "national security," President Donald Trump has said, after naming a special envoy to the Arctic island, which is under Danish sovereignty.

Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has revived his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark, pointing to its strategic location and mineral resources. He has not ruled out annexing the island.

"We need Greenland for national security," Trump told reporters on Monday. "You look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need it for national security. We have to have it," he added.

Trump's remarks followed his appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the US special envoy to Greenland, saying he chose Landry because "he's a deal-maker-type guy."

Announcing the appointment, Trump praised Landry for understanding "how essential Greenland is to our national security."

Landry later wrote on X that it was "an honor to serve" in the volunteer role "to make Greenland a part of the US," saying it would not affect his duties as governor.

Denmark, which has pushed back against Trump's drive to take the island, summoned the US ambassador after Landry's appointment.

"Out of nowhere, there is now a special US presidential representative, who, according to himself, is tasked with taking over Greenland," Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the TV 2 channel, calling the development "completely unacceptable."

Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory of about 57,000 people, has managed most domestic affairs since 1979, while defense and foreign policy remain under Copenhagen's control.

The US has maintained a military presence on the island since World War II. Vice President J.D. Vance visited a US Space Force base on Greenland's northwest coast in March, saying Washington was unlikely to use force to take the territory but remained open to Greenlanders exercising self-determination and breaking away from Denmark.

NATO 'peacekeepers' in Ukraine mean war - Medvedev
The former Russian president was responding to suggestions of such a deployment floated recently by the UK and France

The deployment of "peacekeepers" from NATO member states to Ukraine would trigger an all-out war between the military bloc and Moscow, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned.

In recent weeks, the leaders of the UK and France have ramped up discussions about such a mission.

In a post on X on Sunday, Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, stated that French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer "are playing dumb."

"Time and again they are told that peacekeepers must be from non-NATO states. No, we will send tens of thousands - just lay it out - you want to give military aid to the neo-Nazis in Kiev," Medvedev charged.

"That means war with NATO. Consult with [US President Donald] Trump, scumbags," he concluded.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov previously similarly argued that the deployment of NATO military personnel to Ukraine, even under the guise of peacekeepers, would be tantamount to the "direct, official, undisguised involvement of NATO countries in the war against Russia."
Earlier this month, Starmer announced that Britain and France were ready to lead a "coalition of the willing" to provide military support to Kiev, including the deployment of troops and aircraft. Speaking following an emergency summit in London, he said that "not every nation will feel able to contribute, but that can't mean that we sit back. Instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency."

"The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others," Starmer further clarified.

Macron said Western troops would arrive in Ukraine only if and when the situation on the ground was safe for them.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who attended the meeting along with several other leaders, stressed that "the presence of Italian troops in Ukraine has never been on the agenda."

In contrast, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated that Ottawa was considering all possible options and was not ruling out sending troops to Ukraine.

Reiterating his readiness to deploy British military personnel to the conflict zone, Starmer told Parliament earlier this month that this effort would be contingent on securing US backing.

On Monday, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told DR radio that "if it comes to the point where a European presence is needed for a ceasefire or peace agreement to be reached, then Denmark is in principle prepared for that."

Commenting on the prospect of NATO troops arriving in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated last month that such a development would be "completely unacceptable to us," citing the ramifications it would have for Russia's national security.

Denmark deepens EU divide on troops in Ukraine
Russia has repeatedly warned that Western soldiers in the country would be considered a legitimate target

Denmark is prepared to send troops to Ukraine as part of a Western European mission if necessary, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said.

EU members Germany, Italy, and Hungary, have ruled out committing troopsto any potential peacekeeping mission. Others such as France and Spain have indicated the possibility of deploying a force to Ukraine.

Russia has maintained that only a UN mandate could justify the presence of Western forces in Ukrain, and has warned that any foreign troops deployed without Moscow's authorization would be considered legitimate targets.

"If it comes to the point where a European presence is needed for a ceasefire or peace agreement to be reached,then Denmark is in principle prepared for that," Rasmussen said in an interview with DR radio on Monday.

He also claimed that afinal decision would depend on whether the US agreesto support such a contingent. "That is also why we have not announced any contribution today, but have said that Denmark is prepared in principle to participate if the conditions are right," the foreign minister said.

Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen recently made similar remarks, stating that while Danish troops in Ukraine cannot be ruled out, discussions are still at an early stage.

Last month, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also urged the US to take a more active role in Ukraine, calling for American troops to be deployed to the country.Previously, she argued that peace in Ukraine could be "more dangerous" than if the conflict were to continue, citing an alleged threat that Russia could attack an EU country in the future. Moscow has repeatedly dismissed such claims as "nonsense." (Why do they have women in making decisions on war, and do they believe their own propaganda?)

US President Donald Trump has ruled out sending American troops to Ukraineand has refused to commit to backing an EU or British military presence in the country as part of a negotiated settlement of the conflict.

Russian officials have consistently spoken out against any sort of Western troop deployment to Ukraine. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has also suggested that such proposals are aimed at escalating the conflict. He has specifically accused France and the UK, who have been the most vocal proponents of a foreign peacekeeping force in Ukraine, of trying to fuel tensions in the country and trying to stop attempts to end the hostilities.

Danish politicians applaud member of Ukraine's neo-Nazi unit (VIDEO)
Dmitry Kanuper has been convicted of war crimes by a Russian court
A member of Ukraine's notorious neo-Nazi Azov unit and convicted war criminal Dmitry Kanuper has received a standing ovation during a conference in the Danish parliament. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, and parliamentary speaker Soren Gade, attended the event, which took place on February 19.

Established as a volunteer battalion in 2014 and incorporated into Ukraine's National Guard a year later, Azov has faced accusations of war crimes and was formally designated a terrorist organization by Russia in 2022. The unit, co-founded by prominent Ukrainian white supremacist Andrey Biletsky, has openly welcomed nationalists, neo-Nazis, and football hooligans into its ranks.

Azov uses the Wolfsangel, a rune adopted by several German divisions during World War II, including the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich.

The unit was decimated during the battle of Mariupol in 2022, when many of its members, including Kanuper, were taken prisoner.

In September 2023, a Russian court sentenced Kanuper to 29 years in prison for war crimes. According to Russia's Investigative Committee, in March 2022, Kanuper opened fire on a civilian vehicle, killing two unarmed men, and later shot a third civilian on the street.

Kanuper was eventually released as part of a prisoner swap and, according to Ukrainian media, returned home in September 2024. His meeting with Danish politicians was organized by the Ukrainian World Congress and the local Ukrainian community. Benny Engelbrecht, a member of parliament for the Social Democrats, has thanked Kanuper for his "powerful story" and fighting for "Ukraine's freedom."

Russia has accused the West of turning a blind eye to war crimes committed by Ukrainian troops and "encouraging" attacks on civilians.

In September 2023, a Ukrainian man who served in Nazi Germany's 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was granted a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament. The incident caused an uproar from Jewish groups and led to the resignation of the parliamentary speaker.

Ukraine Asks Backers To OK Deeper Strikes in Russia

Washington recently loosened restrictions for Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil using American arms

Ukraine's government has urged its Western sponsors to allow local troops to strike deeper inside Russia with foreign-supplied weapons. The United States once barred such operations, but has since authorized attacks along Russia's border.

Writing on his official Telegram channel on Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelensky boasted that Ukrainian forces had downed a pair of Russian Kalibr missiles along with two-dozen other projectiles over the last 24 hours, but warned "Russian terror is not slowing down."

"Therefore we must increase our pressure - by all methods and together with our partners," he added. "We have enough determination to destroy terrorists on their territory - it is fair. And we need the same determination from our partners. We can stop Russia."

While Zelensky mentioned no country by name, the message was presumably addressed to leaders in Washington, who still ostensibly maintain restrictions on the use of American weapons on Russian territory. Those rules have been loosened on multiple occasions in recent months, however.

In May, the White House signaled that Kiev would be permitted to hit Russian troops stationed across the border near Ukraine's Kharkiv Oblast, while more recently similar attacks were authorized along the entirety of the Russo-Ukrainian border.

Though Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder insisted there was no change to US policy, claiming the May authorization was not limited to Kharkiv, unnamed officials previously told Reuters the first decision applied "only to targets inside Russia near the border with the Kharkiv region."

Several of Kiev's supporters have already lifted their own rules on Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, among them Canada, Poland, Sweden, Germany, and Denmark. Earlier this month, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen declared that F-16 fighter jets provided by his country could be used to hit Russian targets (once the first deliveries arrive, that is).

"Even if they are inside Russia, they are legitimate military targets because Russia attacked Ukraine. It fully complies with the rules of war," he told journalists in Brussels.

Ukraine appears to be taking advantage of the scaled-back restrictions, reporting its first-ever kill on Russian soil using foreign military hardware earlier this month. According to Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, troops neutralized a Russian S-300 air defense system at an unspecified location using an unnamed Western weapon.

The Kremlin also cast blame on Washington for a recent Ukrainian air raid on Crimea, which has been under Russian control since 2014. Russia's military claimed the strikes used US-provided Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), and went on to say the attack was aided by "US satellite reconnaissance data" provided by "American specialists."

US officials were quick to reject the charge, with the Pentagon stating that "Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations." It is unclear whether Washington imposes the same restrictions for strikes on Crimea, as it rejects Russia's claims to the region and considers it part of Ukraine's sovereign territory. Nonetheless, Moscow has threatened "consequences" for the deadly attack.

Ex-NATO chief lands in Taiwan
Anders Fogh Rasmussen is set to meet with the island's president, Tsai Ing-wen

Former NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday, where he will meet with the island's president, Tsai Ing-wen. The trip takes place amid a row between Beijing and Washington, which accuse each other of stoking tensions in the region.
Rasmussen, a former Danish prime minister who led NATO between 2009 and 2014, was greeted on arrival by Vincent Yao, Taipei's top official responsible for European affairs.

He is also scheduled to meet with Vice President Lai Ching-te and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, according to the island's Foreign Ministry.

Rasmussen founded the Alliance of Democracies (AoD) think tank in 2017. "The visit will focus on support from the democratic world for Taiwan and closer EU-Taiwan relations," the group said in a statement on its website.

Beijing considers Taiwan, which has had a separate government since the late 1940s, part of its territory and strongly opposes any forms of diplomatic recognition of Taipei.

In August, China protested over the visit of US House of Representatives leader Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan and responded by launching combined military exercises around the island. The US and the Taiwanese government, in turn, have accused Beijing of coercive behavior.

Last Friday, the US and China accused each other of reckless maneuvers in the South China Sea. The US Indo-Pacific Command reported that a Chinese J-11 jet fighter flew dangerously close to its RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft. Beijing, meanwhile, claimed that the US plane was responsible for the incident.

Denmark follows the 'One-China policy', refraining from formally recognizing Taiwan as an independent state. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on December 30 that the government does not interfere in the travel plans of former politicians. "Such visits do not change the fact that it is the government that leads the country's foreign policy," the minister said. "Denmark has good trade relations with Taiwan, but, at the same time, our One-China policy is firm."

In an interview with Newsweek magazine in October, the former NATO chief suggested that "Russia's attack against Ukraine has postponed the timing of a possible Chinese attack on Taiwan." China has repeatedly stated that it would prefer "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan, but has warned that it still reserves "other options."

"In what one former official called "the closest thing to an intelligence coup d'etat," a set of old hands has been designated to lead at the principal military and civilian agencies. Career intelligence officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief this past week and were hopeful that new management would help stabilize the spy agencies, which have been hurt by flawed analyses on Iraq, bureaucratic infighting, and a lack of experienced senior leadership. In this new intelligence constellation, there are four key players…."
"The new power structure comes at a time when the intelligence community needs steady hands, observers said. Outgoing DNI John Negroponte, a career ambassador who is returning to his roots at the State Department as Condoleezza Rice's deputy, never seemed comfortable in his role as intelligence czar."

The appointment of Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary sparked some questions about her experience to take on the high profile job, but her performance in the days following the bomb attacks has earned her thus far uniform praise."

Denmark Tells Bernie Sanders It's Had Enough Of His 'Socialist' Slurs
KERRY JACKSON12:01 AM ET 11/09/2015

The Danes apparently have grown weary of Sen. Bernie Sanders insulting their country. Denmark is not a socialist nation, says its prime minister. It has a "market economy."

Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate who calls himself a socialist, has used Denmark as the example of the socialist utopia he wants to create in America. During the Democrats' first debate last month, he said "we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people."

While appearing in New Hampshire in September, Sanders said that he had "talked to a guy from Denmark" who told him that in Denmark, "it is very hard to become very, very rich, but it's pretty hard to be very, very poor."

"And that makes a lot of sense to me."

So because something makes sense to him, he has the right to force that system on people who don't want it? Isn't that what he's saying?

But we digress. This is about Danes being offending by Sanders using the word "socialist" to describe their form of government. And who can blame them, especially when the free world has had enough of national socialists and Soviet socialists and North Korean socialists and Cuban socialists?

While speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, the center-right Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said he was aware "that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism."

"Therefore," he said, "I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."

But they are dangerous people! Europe reluctant to 'take back' ISIS fighters as Trump demands

Trump's call upon European countries to "take back" and prosecute jihadists captured in Syria, has met quite a mixed reaction, with Germany expressing legal concerns over such a move and Denmark firmly rejecting it altogether.

The bold demand was tweeted by the US President on Sunday. The options for Europe are simple - to take Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighters "back," or the US and its subordinate militants in Syria "we will be forced to release them."

The call was heard, yet some countries flatly rejected it.

"We are talking about the most dangerous people in the world. We should not take them back," a spokesperson for Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said. The official described Trump's call as premature, claiming that the situation in Syria was far from stable.

White House Report Slamming 'Socialist' Scandinavia Denounced by Danish PM

Denmark's center-right Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen rushed to defend the Nordic Model of social democracy after the Trump Administration listed Denmark as an example of a failing socialist nation in its recently released report, called "The Opportunity Costs of Socialism."

Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen posted on Facebook this Monday that he is willing to participate "at any time in a competition with the Americans on who has the best social model," CDS News reported.

"Yes, we pay a lot in tax... but we get so much. Our children can get an education - no matter who you are and where you come from. We can get to the hospital and get help if we get sick. Whether we have special insurance or a lot of money in the bank. And if you become unemployed, run into problems or otherwise need a helping hand, then the community is ready to seize and help one back on the right track," Rasmussen wrote.

Denmark became one of the countries listed in the report, which was penned by the White House Council of Economic Advisers. It had criticized Denmark over its living conditions saying that the living standards in Nordic countries are "at least 15 percent lower than in the United States."

The report was also quickly criticized by the foreign policy spokesman of Denmark's opposition Social Democratic party, who called it a "scare tactic" and "fake news" aimed at improving the image of the US ahead of midterms.

"There was no mention of the 32 million adults in the U.S. that are illiterate," The Copenhagen Post fired back, without mentioning the source of its data.

This is not the first time Denmark has reacted to the criticism of the country's political and economic system. Earlier in August, a Fox Business segment called Denmark an "overtaxed dystopia" with high unemployment rates. Denmark's minister of finance and ambassador to the US Lars Gert Lose called the criticism "uninformed." Lose even posted a document with Denmark's global rankings, showing the small country coming out on top in terms of unemployment and education.

Denmark and the other Nordic countries of Europe are known for their implementation of the Nordic Model, alternately known as Nordic Capitalism and Nordic Social Democracy. Unlike in true socialism, the means of production are privately owned. However, the countries feature a generous welfare state tasked with providing free university-level education and medical care as well as generous pensions, and a high percentage of the workforce is unionized. Many argue that the public sector of Denmark, with a population of less than six million, can't be compared to that of the United States.

European Leaders Finally Planning Asylum Camps Outside the EU

With the prospect of passing a common asylum law slipping away, leaders of European nations are in talks to house third world migrants in camps outside the EU.
The governments of Austria and Denmark are among those looking to develop a system that would offer protection to people in a place unattractive to people smugglers while their asylum application is processed.

Speaking in Copenhagen on Tuesday, Danish leader Lars Lokke Rasmussen said camps in a third country would have "a strong deterrent effect" on would-be asylum seekers if they know they will be deported upon having their application refused.

Hmmmm. Denmark (Bloomberg-3 days)

https://
www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2018-04-03/wto-warns-of-economic-damage-from-escalation-in-trade-tensions

The prime minister of Denmark said the security reasons given by the White House for imposing tariffs on Europe make no sense, as he questioned the underlying logic of U.S. trade policy.

"It's bordering on the absurd to impose tariffs using national security as an argument for goods arriving in the U.S. from America's closest ally, namely Europe," Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Rasmussen, who met President Donald Trump in Washington a year ago, said an exemption from trade tariffs granted to the EU until May 1 is expected to become permanent. "But obviously we need to prepare for the event that" the tariffs take effect again after that date, he said.


"This is serious," Rasmussen said. "Imposing trade taxes on European steel and aluminum is serious in its own right, and we would have to answer back."

Denmark is due to host U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May next week, where discussions will focus on trade. Rasmussen also said the deterioration in relations with Russia means EU leaders are likely to agree to extending sanctions beyond June.

WTO Warning
The head of the WTO warned of the fallout from a trade war, urging nations to step back from the brink and avoid ratcheting up tension.

It's a "very delicate" moment in trade relations between some of the world's large economies, World Trade Organization Director-General Roberto Azevedo said Tuesday at a conference in Lisbon.

The world is struggling with how to respond to Trump, who imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on allies and adversaries alike last month, granting temporary waivers to some amid further security and trade negotiations. China, which is being threatened with additional levies on $50 billion of its products, shot back with tariffs of its own this week while also calling for more talks. The threat of a trade war helped unnerve investors, leading to the worst three months in global stocks in more than two years.


"An escalation of these frictions will have very negative consequences for global economic growth and for job creation,'' Azevedo said. "We have to be worried about the motivations behind those tensions and the potential systemic consequences. It's important to avoid an escalation.''

Azevedo said he's in contact with all the "actors," without mentioning any countries. "It's necessary that the lines of communication are open and that there is a genuine will to find constructive solutions. It's the most important and urgent challenge we have today.''

Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.
