Hey, didn't Putin once flirt with Trump? Now he's playing surveillance!
Russia has issued a stern warning to Donald Trump who has once again shown his ambition to own Greenland, sparking a geopolitical drama in the increasingly heated Arctic.
After Denmark admitted its defense weaknesses in the region, the Kremlin was quick to act.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, stressed that the Arctic is a zone of strategic interest for Russia and stated that Moscow will continue to strengthen its military presence to protect its claims.
Meanwhile, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen admitted that the country has been slow to invest in ships and surveillance aircraft.
Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who once flatly rejected Trump's offer to buy Greenland in 2019, called for immediate defense reforms with NATO.
Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, also defended his country's sovereignty by insisting that their homeland is not a commodity.
With Russia and China vying for control of Arctic shipping lanes and resources, Trump's remarks have once again sparked concern and uproar in Europe.
Britain's Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, described Trump's approach as "imperialistic intransigence" that could spark global conflict.
