JAKARTA - NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is reluctant to comment on the tensions between the United States and Denmark over Greenland. He admitted that he was dealing with this issue "behind the scenes".
"That's why you won't hear me commenting. You can be sure that I am dealing with this issue [US-Danish tensions] behind the scenes, but I can't do it in public. There is no comment from me on the Greenland issue," Rutte said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, January 21.
Rutte assessed that "wise diplomacy" was the only solution to this tension, and his role as NATO secretary-general was to resolve these internal tensions discreetly, without commenting in public.
Europe is safe because of "a solid transatlantic relationship", he said.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should join the US, citing the importance of the island's strategic position for national security.
In response, Danish and Greenlandic authorities have warned Washington against seizing the island, stressing that they hope its territorial integrity will be respected.
