US Secretary of State Antony Blinken doesn’t suppose it’s essential to spend time discussing Donald Trump's thought of taking management of Greenland, as he believes it "is just not going to occur".

Supply: Blinken at a press convention together with his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot in Paris on Wednesday, 8 January; European Pravda; US Division of State

Particulars: Blinken famous that over the previous 4 years, the US administration has tried to cooperate with its allies, reasonably than "saying or doing issues which will alienate them".

Quote from Blinken: "The thought expressed about Greenland is clearly not a superb one, however perhaps extra vital, it's clearly one which's not going to occur, so we in all probability shouldn't waste a variety of time speaking about it."

Background:

• Trump has repeatedly expressed his want for the USA to buy Greenland, a Danish territory and the most important island on the planet.
• Lately, he refused to rule out the usage of army pressure to take management of Greenland or the Panama Canal, which he has been speaking about in current weeks.
• Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has not too long ago pressured that Greenland belongs to its individuals.
