Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands told Newsmax Friday that President-elect Donald Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland may be a "real threat to the Kingdom of Denmark,"

but U.S. acquisition of the territory is a "common-sense solution" to combating the presence of China and Russia in the region.

 

Sands explained to Newsmax's "Wake Up America" that Greenland is a country that falls under the umbrella of Danish control.

"Denmark is a kingdom, and it has three countries: Denmark, the small country; and then the Faroe Islands, which is a very small chain of islands … near the Scottish Shetland Islands, north of Scotland; and then it has Greenland, which is one-third the size of the continental U.S.," she said. "It's actually part of North America."

Looking at Denmark itself, Sands said, the country of approximately 5.5 million people "doesn't have the resources to develop Greenland."

"There is no development there," she said. "I mean, Denmark helped to fund some airports in Greenland when the Chinese government tried to fund and construct them several years ago, but there's no road between any town in Greenland.

 

 

 

There's zero infrastructure, basically, and it's a gigantic area. So the idea that little Denmark, which can't even defend its own territory … can defend Greenland, is preposterous."
