THE KREMLIN IS closely following US President-elect Donald Trump’s claim to Greenland, a spokesman has said, expressing relief that currently it was only rhetoric.
Trump refused to rule out military action to take control of the Arctic island at a press conference on Tuesday. He had earlier vowed to slap high tariffs on Denmark if it refused to cede its autonomous territory.
“I’m not going to commit to that,” he said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military, adding: “We need Greenland for national security purposes.”
Speaking today, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: “We are very closely watching this rather dramatic development of the situation, which is, thank God, at the level of statements so far.
“We are interested in preserving peace and stability in this zone and are ready to co-operate with any parties for this peace and stability,” he added.
