Greenlandic politician from the Cooperation Party, Tillie Martinussen, warned that the Arctic island nation has the means to protect itself from US President Donald Trump’s ambition over Greenland. “We know about the treaties that we have with America. This is very much akin to when you have a dog sledge team. When he’s using that analogy, and one of the dogs all of a sudden turns around and bites you. You have to take it out of the kennel. You have to take it outside and shoot it,” Martinussen said in an interview in Nuuk on Saturday. “America has 10,000 soldiers who are for combat in Arctic society. Finland alone has 35,000. We also could impose – if we wanted to escalate stuff, we could also impose, like, dropping all American Treasury bonds, right? That would hurt,” the politician continued.
