Russland warnt Trump wegen Grönland, während ein Kremlsprecher sagt, Moskau habe strategische Interessen in der Arktis und verurteilt europäische Länder für ihre „zaghafte“ Reaktion auf den gewählten US-Präsidenten

***From The Times:***

Russia has warned that it has its own strategic interests in the Arctic and that it is watching Donald Trump’s ambitions to acquire Greenland for the United States “very closely”.

Trump, who takes office on January 20, has refused to rule out using military or economic action to take control of Greenland, an autonomous Arctic territory of Denmark, a Nato member state.

He has also suggested that Washington could use military force to seize the Panama Canal and that Canada should become the 51st state of the US.

“The Arctic is a zone of our national interests, our strategic interests,” Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said. “We are interested in preserving the atmosphere of peace and stability in the Arctic zone.
