BERLIN, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Germany will send 13 soldiers to Greenland on Thursday as part of a reconnaissance mission with other European nations, the German government and defence ministry said on Wednesday, following demands by President Donald Trump for Washington to have control of the island. The mission, which comes at the request of Denmark, will take place from Thursday to Saturday, aiming to explore possible military contributions to bolster the security of the region, a defence ministry statement said. This could, for example, include maritime surveillance, it added. Trump has repeatedly said in recent weeks that Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark that is strategically located and rich in minerals, is vital to U.S. security, and that the United States must own it to prevent Russia or China from occupying it.
Is not like Europe could grant protection from a USA all-out military action, but it must grant that such attempt must have reasonable consequences, from not making it a free looting or make it dissuasori in cost for USA due to the losses with Europe to not dilapidate European resources (Orange’s words are worthless, only actions should matter), then it will be their call.
