Nordics Reject Trump's Claims of Russian, Chinese Vessels Near Greenland
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Nordic countries have refuted US President Donald Trump's claims about Russian and Chinese vessels operating near Greenland, which he cited to justify his plans to take control of the island, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing two senior Nordic diplomats with access to NATO intelligence.
"It is simply not true that the Chinese and Russians are there. I have seen the intelligence. There are no ships, no submarines," a senior diplomat was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Another diplomat from a different Nordic state likewise described Trump's claims as not true.
"This idea that the waters around Greenland are crawling with Russian and Chinese ships or submarines is just not true. They are in the Arctic, yes, but on the Russian side," they said.
On January 7, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen dismissed as false Trump's remarks that Greenland is "covered" with numerous Russian and Chinese vessels.
The Daily Mail reported on Saturday that Trump had ordered US special operations commanders to draw up a plan for a Greenland invasion. Trump told The Atlantic magazine last week that the US "absolutely" needed Greenland, claiming the island was "surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships. " Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged Trump to stop threatening Greenland, an autonomous part of Denmark, with annexation.
The island was a Danish colony until 1953. It has remained a part of the Kingdom of Denmark after gaining autonomy in 2009, with the ability to self-govern and determine its own domestic policy.

Although that is a Russian source, it quotes a British source for its accusation, the Financial Times:

Trump's China-Greenland Threat: Fact Check
4 days ago · Trump claims Chinese ships surround Greenland. The facts tell a different story of failed mining projects and modest trade ties.
Trump tells a blatant lie and then uses it as justification for committing international crimes. Example is that he attacked Venezuela on the premise of drug crime, and then took control of oil which was his REAL purpose. Now he blatanly lies about Russian and Chinese ships surrounding Greenland and his "National Security" excuse as his reason to invade Greenland when what he really wants is Greenland's minerals.
We can all see by the President's insane reaction and lies about Renee Good running over ICE officer Ross
that truth to the President is determined by his questionable morals; the ones which excuse him from international law.
The insurrection on Jan6 was SO wrong, but these days it's hard for me to understand how decent Americans can resist it. When so many allies and friends around the world are being turned into enemies or at the very least are questioning the direction being taken by America, how long will it be before America is so disdained that it will be isolated by the rest of the world?
This administration lies so much they've forgotten how to tell the truth.

What a blowhard. Lie, after lie, after lie.
Arvo G...next Trump will be saying the USA 4 man bob sled team won the world cup event in Switzerland y'day instead of three of them falling out of it...the driver was flaming lucky and no injuries was amazing...
I saw the headline here and thought oh gawd it's probably our mob... but nope it was the US...not even sure if we were competing in this event....😁
Guess that was not particularly "Cool Runnings" for America.
I can understand how hllbillies and fools had voted for him, but what I can't understand is how Americans with at least SOME intelligence did. What's worse, is the level of sanity of those who STILL support him (other than his immediate sycofants).
One day ago US forces with Jordanian support bombed dozens of locations in Syria.
US, Jordanian forces carry out airstrikes in Syria against ISIS
What happened to Epstein? Exactly
Renee Good lost her life. Why did Noem and trump run to the press for free air time?
So neither Epstein or Syria or even Venezuela would be news.
Yet the whiner in chief still wants a Nobel Peace Prize?
the Administration should be proud../S
Actually Trump and his administration are doing a great job in covering up what are probably the real truths about the Epstein matter, even though what they are doing now and having to keep doing could end up being even worse than Epstein.
Trump is nuts. I think that explains most of what we see now.
And if that were a fact, what legally can be done about it? Of course, the way things are going these days, does "legally" even matter?
No defenders of "The Liar in Chief" yet?
