GREENLAND REACTION

SHOTLIST

• DRONE OF COPENHAGEN
• Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard walks towards camera
• SOUNDBITE PhD Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard. Senior Researcher, Foreign Policy and Diplomacy
  “Taking control of Greenland militarily would be very easy for the United States. However, the political control that is governing the territory the size of Greenland with a population that presumably wouldn’t be too happy about American presence would be difficult. And it would create also, I think quite a big pushback at home in the United States against Trump and of course, internationally.”

• SOUNDBITE: Johanne Knudsen, student psychotherapy, 31:
  “I think we have a big responsibility to push back and to let him know that this is not something that he can just own. He could just possess. I think we’re doing a lot of things to prevent it. But I’m not sure if it’s enough.”

• SOUNDBITE: Cecilie Frost andersen, student, 23
  “Oh I think oh, it’s a bit of a hard question. I don’t know much about it, but I also think it’s a bit hard because the US has such a big military and it’s like a big brother of Denmark. So it’s a I think it’s a complicated situation for Denmark, but I think it’s good that we’re finally standing up and telling our minds. Yeah.”
• PEOPLE WALKING IN THE STREETS OF COPENHAGEN
• VOX-POP Staffan Dahlløf, free-lance journalist, 70 :
  “I think the European reaction is surprisingly weak. Taking this whole there have been different voices. Of course I haven’t seen them all, but like, for example, Kallas ( ref. Kaja Kallas), the foreign minister, is a high representative for foreign policy. I was surprised to see that she was that non principle in the way of reasoning.”

  “To what extent will our NATO allies really support us on this matter? Because right now, when it’s just a matter of issuing statements, we hear a lot of support. And that’s, of course, something that is received, thankfully in, in Copenhagen and in New York. The question is, if there was an actual military operation, would some of these other European countries be reluctant to criticize Trump, given that they also have other security interests, not least in relation to Russia, and might value better relations with the Americans higher than the need to come to Denmark’s defense here.”

  “I think the reaction from Denmark is appropriate. It’s good that we’re setting, foot down and and saying affirm. No, I think it’s hard of course, in the beginning, everyone kind of chuckled and laughed and thought it was a silly proposal and nothing would come of it. But, it’s good that we’re taking it more seriously now. As long as it keeps, and continues to involve the Greenlandic people and, and their autonomy, is, is at the forefront. And I think we’re handling it quite well. “

  “Well, in case of a US military invasion of Greenland, which I think is unlikely. Still, in that scenario, though, the NATO alliance would in reality de facto cease to exist. If you have one member attacking another member, there is no alliance.”
