Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, has said that Greenland's status as part of Denmark is "unfair" because Copenhagen is unable to ensure the island's defence.

Details: In an interview, Miller said that Denmark has "failed" to protect Greenland and therefore has no right to control it.

"They cannot control the territory of Greenland. Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory, you have to be able to defend a territory, improve a territory, inhabit a territory. Denmark has failed every single one of these tests," the official said.

Miller said that Washington considers it "unfair" that the United States is "paying" for Greenland's defence while it remains under Danish control.

"It's a raw deal. It's an unfair deal. And most importantly, it is unfair to the American taxpayers, who have subsidised all of Europe's defence for generations now," Miller said.

The official reiterated the claim that Greenland is critically important to US national interests.

Background:
