It is important to have a better level of preparedness than we do today and closer dialogue with Denmark,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>According to Chemnitz, the threat from the United States has become more tangible following recent developments.<\/p>\n<p>She also criticises Trump's description of the security situation around Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a persistent interest in Greenland, where, for example, the presence of Russian and Chinese vessels in Greenlandic waters is exaggerated,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Chemnitz, who has served on the Danish parliament's Defence Committee for more than ten years, rejects that portrayal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are ships from time to time, but exaggerating the situation to promote one's own interests is manipulation and a misrepresentation of the reality in Greenland. That crosses my line,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>As a possible concrete measure, Chemnitz points to military exercises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy primary focus is preparedness, but we also conducted the Arctic Light exercise with European and Nordic forces, and one could consider extending that,\u201d Chemnitz says.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 January 2026 This is an article from Sermitsiaq.gl Greenland and Denmark should back up diplomatic messages with concrete action following recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump about Greenland, former Danish MP Aaja Chemnitz (IA) says.
