Denmark has prepared for a possible US attacks on Greenland, by sending blood supplies there. This was reported by the The Guardian citing government sources. The reason was tensions with the Donald Trump administration.
Denmark prepares for a military scenario
Danish government organises blood drive to Greenland due to fears of US attack during presidency Donald Trump. According to The Guardian, this decision was made in response to Washington's threatening rhetoric and attempts to acquire Greenland.
The blood transport operation took place against a backdrop of rising tensions between Denmark and the United States. Denmark considered various scenarios, including military conflict.
Causes and response
Preparations for a possible attack were linked to Donald Trump's initiatives to purchase Greenland in 2019. Danish officials took the risks that arose after these announcements seriously.
The Danish authorities have not publicly reported on these security measures. Only now has it become known that blood is being transported in case of hostilities or an emergency on the island.
Context.
Greenland is an autonomous territory within Denmark. In 2019, Donald Trump announced his intention to buy Greenland, which triggered a diplomatic crisis between the countries.
Following Denmark's refusal to negotiate the sale of the island, relations between the two countries remained tense. The blood delivery operation illustrates the level of seriousness with which Denmark took the potential threat.
