Denmark's PM did not bow down despite Trump's threats (Photo- Social Media)
Digital Desk, New Delhi. It is said that Poot's feet are visible in the cradle. Something similar is with Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. He never tolerated bullies. During her school days, she stood firmly against the miscreant boys who harassed immigrant children.
Although she had to face a punch at that time, but last week she emerged as the biggest figure in Europe in whatever happened on the issue of Greenland. Frederickson has emerged as the face who chose to say 'no' clearly, without provocation and without bowing down.
She stood firmly in front of Donald Trump, the 'talkative' President of the world's superpower America, in front of whom even the elders would tremble. It is the result of the restrained but firm strategy of Mette Frederiksen, who has become a strong wall between Greenland and America, that Trump has had to retreat for the time being.
Frederiksen is at the center of one of the toughest confrontations in global politics right now. After Trump's aggressive rhetoric regarding Greenland, Frederiksen spent months maintaining a delicate balance - on the one hand, protecting Denmark's sovereignty without angering the US President, on the other hand, uniting Europe to send a clear message that there would be no compromise on Greenland's sovereignty. He clearly said that giving sovereignty over US military bases in Greenland is a “red line”.
Youngest Prime Minister, Most Popular Leader
For Frederiksen, who became Denmark's youngest Prime Minister in 2019 at the age of 41, this controversy is not just diplomatic, but related to the country's identity and existence. With Greenland, Denmark becomes the 12th largest sovereign country in the world and has an important role in Arctic affairs.
Under pressure from Trump, Frederickson took a bold step and called a limited military force from Britain, France, Germany and Iceland to Greenland. It was a symbolic but strong message that any military action would have a price to pay not just for Denmark but for all of Europe. This move received widespread support in Denmark and his popularity grew rapidly. Opinion polls indicate she could return to power for a third term in elections this year.
'Frederickson to take tough decisions' A series of crises have come during his tenure - the controversial decision to close the mink industry during Covid, the decision to commit the first F-16s to the Ukraine war, and Europe's strictest asylum policy. Despite criticism, he maintained political strength on every front.
Frederickson, who is restrained in personal life, is not in favor of completely breaking relations with America. She repeatedly says that America's historical role in the security of Europe cannot be denied. He says that his aim is not to create conflict, but to find a solution while handling the conflict.
The Greenland crisis has established Mette Frederiksen not only as a Danish leader, but also as a European leader who knows how to remain calm but firm in the face of power.
