What did Stellan Skarsgård say about Donald Trump threatening to take over Greenland?
Skarsgård stated it’s “absurd” that Trump desires to take over Greenland.
“It’s a bit man who received megalomania, and he’s making an attempt to take the world. He took Venezuela, immediately, and that’s for Chevron. He’ll take Greenland for minerals. He’s a legal,” Skarsgård stated on the European Film Awards, per Deadline.
Skarsgård wasn’t the one one who shared his ideas on Trump on the prestigious occasion on Saturday. Norwegian movie director Joachim Trier additionally weighed in.
“Sitting in Europe at present. I feel that what we’ve realized from historical past is that the thought of appropriation of different international locations and the thought of colonization is one thing that we endure by guilt for in Europe, within the sense that we try to maneuver ahead from that idiotic thought,” Trier stated, per Deadline.
Why does Donald Trump need Greenland?
While Trump claims that the U.S. wants Greenland for safety causes, his critics say the president is simply seeking to seize the nation’s mineral sources. Trump’s need for Greenland is drawing a resemblance to his actions in Venezuela, the place the U.S. forcibly eliminated incumbent president Nicolás Maduro and made plans to seize the nation’s oil manufacturing.
Trump’s relationship with Europe took one other hit this week when he threatened to impose 25% commerce tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland if the U.S. doesn’t purchase Greenland. While Trump continues to push his thought, European international locations have repeatedly instructed him that Greenland isn’t on the market. Protesters in Denmark and Greenland are additionally taking a stand to let Trump know that he should keep out of Europe.
