Sorry TRUMP -HISTORICAL Pact Says Britain Has FIRST Dibs on Greenland
Sorry, TRUMP: A HISTORICAL Pact Says Britain Has FIRST Dibs on Greenland
TRUMP is said to be raging at Denmark for the right to buy the strategic Arctic island. But a century-old document stands in his way....Trump needs permission from a third country - Britain - if he is to fulfill his pledge to take it over
Telegraph 27 JAN 2025
Britain would have the right to buy Greenland BEFORE the US, the islands last Danish minister said.
If Denmark does decide to sell Greenland, Britain will have the right to buy the island first. This statement was made on 26 January by the Danish ex-Minister for Greenland Tom Heim.
The politician explained that it was Britain that, back in 1917, demanded the right under which it could be the first to acquire the island in the event of a decision to sell it.
If Trump tried to buy Greenland, he would have to ask London about it first, Heim is quoted as saying in an article in The Sunday Times newspaper.
He stressed that the commitment of 1917, when the United States first made a preliminary attempt to purchase Greenland, still remains in force. This, as Heim noted, secures the Danish Crowns rights to the island.
According to the former Danish Minister for Greenland, former American leader Woodrow Wilson, who served as president of the United States from 1913 to 1921, subsequently agreed that Greenland belongs to Denmark and always will be.
According to an Epinion survey, only 3% of Danes support joining the island to the United States.
Greenland became a colony of Denmark in 1814, and officially became part of the kingdom in 1953. Today, the island is an autonomous territory of Denmark....
US DEBT AT THE MOMENT....
