Trump demanded that Denmark significantly increase military spending on NATO

History with Denmark's refusal to sell or lease to the United States the largest island in the world, Greenland was continued. US President Donald Trump accused Copenhagen of inadequate NATO maintenance costs. He wrote about this in his Twitter.

The US president accused the "rich" Denmark of insufficiently funding the costs allocated to the North Atlantic alliance, demanding that the Danish government pay much more for the "provided incredible military protection." To Trump's ambassadors, Copenhagen spends on defense only 1,35% of GDP instead of the required 2%.

For reference, Denmark spends only 1,35% of its GDP on (military) expenditures (on maintenance) of NATO. They are a rich country and must spend 2%

- declared Trump.

He said that the US spending on protecting Europe from a possible attack is much more than the costs of the European states themselves, calling it "injustice"

We are defending Europe, and yet only eight of the 28 NATO countries are at 2%. United States military spending is at a much higher level. (...) is still far from what they have to pay for the incredible military protection provided. NATO is very unfair to the United States!

- stressed Trump.

Earlier, trump criticized Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who called the US idea to buy Greenland an absurdity, and canceled an official visit to Denmark scheduled for September 2-3.

Last week it became known that the US administration was seriously discussing the option of including the largest island in the world of Greenland in the United States, considering options for its purchase. The idea was initiated by US President Donald Trump himself, who was very interested in this island. Later it became known that the United States was ready to pay Denmark 600 million dollars annually for the rental of the island.

The Danish government denied the transfer of Greenland to the United States. This decision was supported by the European Union.

You are mistaken! There is ! But everything goes to the domestic market!

Well, it’s not at all democratic volumes.

That's right ......

[dorz]

The royal family of Denmark is not against the sale of the island, subject to the consent of the people living there, and Trump's financial advisers are studying the legal and legal nuances.

But people are striving for this, Sergius, and are already close ..

Yeah, it remains to destroy the remaining 50% of the electric power industry or force the whole territory to be windmills, ditching all the birds ...
And somehow, Denmark's "greenness" does not prevent it from receiving money for the transit of hydrocarbons through its territory.
And most importantly:
The country's energy needs are met through oil (43%), gas (24%), coal (21%) and renewable energy sources (12%).
Oil used domestically is extracted in the North Sea and is spent in the fields of transport (57%), heating (15%), as well as industry (10%). Less than 2% of oil is used in power plants.
Denmark also produces natural gas in the North Sea. 38% is exported to Sweden and Germany, the remainder is consumed in Denmark. 47% of the domestic gas consumed is used at plants producing heat and electricity, 25% is consumed by industry, about 20% is used directly for heating buildings.
All coal is imported, 92% of the coal is used to generate energy.
Renewable sources include wood (44%), wind (27%), straw (23%) and biogas (6%). Solar and geothermal plants are also used, but they produce a small amount of energy. It also uses the energy generated by burning waste.

The stump is clear, if Europe ruined for itself precisely the promising energy in the form of atomic energy - they can also suck in expensive shale or liquefied gas, and then, when it ceases to be enough, it will be an exhaustible resource, and energy needs will increase, but not decrease - NPPs will still have to be built, but who will build them? Those who didn’t ruin their nuclear power plant ...
In the meantime, let's tell a fairy tale about how cities can be powered from solar energy. On the roof of the 16-storey panel to place - enough for the whole house! On electric stoves, washing machines, 2-3 televisions and 3-4 PCs in each apartment, not to mention air conditioners with electric heaters, for example, for water)))

Ja, ja ... this will work especially well somewhere in the circumpolar zone, not even beyond the Arctic Circle, but simply next to it.
However, why go far. In my hometown of shaverms and curbs, weather forecasters last December congratulated the townspeople on their first sunny day in the last two months. And the pedestrian crossings with solar panels we survive only due to the fact that these batteries are under street lighting.

[pmkemcity]

Alternative energy in Denmark.

Denmark is approaching its 2020 goal: to get half of the country's energy needs using wind energy, writes The Copengagen Post.

According to the national operator of electric and gas networks, last year 39% of all energy consumed in the country was obtained from wind turbines, including 111 new power plants built off the coast of Anholt Island.
Power system of Denmark.

The Danish energy system at 2/3 consists of large district heating systems operating from large thermal power plants (gas, coal or several types of fuel) and mini-thermal power plants (biofuels and other wastes). The district heating systems also include backup boiler rooms operating on coal, gas or diesel fuel.

In addition, a decentralized heat supply sector is actively operating in the country, part of which is occupied by gas supply systems with individual heating systems, and some are decentralized sources of wood and other biowaste.

· 80% of the heat used for heating the communal sector is generated at large and small thermal power plants;
· 60% of all consumers receive heat from district heating systems;
· 40% of all energy produced is made up of sources operating on renewable energy resources, primarily biofuels and wind.

[Sergej1972]

This is the structure of alternative energy, and not the entire Danish generation. You would give a graph showing the share of alternative energy in the entire energy balance of the country.

[Cat man null]

The graph shows the percentage of use of alternative (renewable) energy sources. In this case, the sum of "alternative" is taken as 100%

This is not their share in the production of heat / electricity. About nothing (s).

Quote: Destiny

Yes of course. By 2030, they plan to abandon coal and oil while receiving heat and electricity. They are not going to refuse gas even then.

Stupid divorce, here's 600 million for you, a year for rent (in the next branch the information was on the amount), and you will give this money to me as an increase in contributions to NATO. If you don't want to, then if without rent for the island, you still give me money for NATO. In general, the island will take away the debts. Such "protection" is worse than occupation, but the problem is that there are no people willing to occupy.

I’m wondering when it will come to the Europeans, which is easier, the main thing is much cheaper and more profitable is to solemnly thank the Americans for their earlier military assistance in protecting us from the USSR and the Warsaw Pact countries and to send them back to the music and songs to the absence of the same USSR and Warsaw the contract.
If the American ruling circles are so afraid of aggressive Russia, then let them build their own defense there. Indeed, in fact, it is military companies in the United States that do not earn very little money on all these European propaganda-induced fears. Those. the beneficiary of anti-Russian sentiments are the so-called star-striped defenders sitting on the other side of the globe.

Trump's pride is strongly affected, now the country is squeezing the Danes. Active pressure is now beginning on Denmark, incl. through American agents of influence in this country.

[rotmistr60]

It is clear that Trump, after reacting to his proposal, which he obviously did not count on, will begin to remind Denmark of all the "sins" that are explicit and implicit. It is customary for Americans to act harshly with those who disagree, so for now, increase your expenses.

pay much more for the "provided incredible military protection ""
