首相延斯-弗雷德里克·尼尔森对比了该地区的免费医疗与昂贵的美国医疗体系
周日,格陵兰总理公开斥责美国总统唐纳德·特朗普,拒绝其派遣美国医疗船前往这个北极地区的提议,并敦促他停止就格陵兰未来发表“随意”的社交媒体言论。
在特朗普宣布这一消息后,首相延斯-弗雷德里克·尼尔森在一篇尖锐的Facebook帖子中作出回应。
“我们在这里说不,谢谢。”尼尔森写道,“特朗普总统提出的派遣美国医疗船到格陵兰的想法已被注意到。但我们有一个全民医疗体系,公民接受治疗是免费的。”
首相还对比了格陵兰与美国的医疗体系,指出在美国“看医生是要花钱的”。
特朗普告诉达沃斯论坛:美国能单独确保格陵兰安全,坚称不会“使用武力”
尼尔森表示,格陵兰“一直”愿意与美国对话,但敦促特朗普直接参与对话。
“与我们对话,而不是只是在社交媒体上发表或多或少随意的言论。”他写道,“对话与合作需要尊重格陵兰国内作出的关于本国的决定。”
周六,特朗普在Truth Social上宣布,他的政府正与路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里合作,派遣一艘医疗船前往格陵兰,为那里“患病且未得到妥善照料”的民众提供医疗服务。
俄罗斯、中国挤压美国北极防御区,特朗普将目光投向格陵兰
兰德里于12月被任命为驻格陵兰特别代表,并已举行正式讨论,概述了特朗普计划在俄罗斯和中国威胁下加强北极安全的方案。
1月底,兰德里与北约领导人会面,并表示支持“未来协议框架”以扩大美国在该地区的影响力。

特朗普提出该提议之前,丹麦联合北极指挥部将一名美国潜艇船员从格陵兰首都努克外七海里处撤离。
联合北极指挥部表示,该船员由丹麦国防军“海鹰”直升机转移至努克医院,并移交给格陵兰卫生部门。

Greenland rejects Trump’s hospital ship proposal, citing existing free healthcare system
Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen contrasts territory’s free healthcare with expensive American system
Greenland’s prime minister publicly rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday, rejecting his proposal to send a U.S. hospital ship to the Arctic territory and urging him to stop making “random” social media posts about its future.
Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen issued the response in a pointed Facebook post following Trump’s announcement.
“We say no thank you from here,” Nielsen wrote. “President Trump’s idea of sending an American hospital ship here to Greenland has been noted. But we have a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens.”
The prime minister also contrasted Greenland’s system with that of the U.S., writing that, in America, “it costs money to go to the doctor.”

Nielsen said Greenland is “always” open to dialogue with the U.S. but urged Trump to engage directly.
“Talk to us instead of just making more or less random outbursts on social media,” he wrote. “Dialogue and cooperation require respect for decisions about our country being made here at home.”
On Saturday, Trump announced on Truth Social that his administration was working with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to send a hospital ship to Greenland to care for people who are sick and “not being taken care of there.”

Landry was designated special envoy to Greenland in December and has held formal discussions outlining Trump’s plans to strengthen Arctic security amid threats from Russia and China.
In late January, Landry spoke with NATO leaders and expressed support for a “framework of a future deal” to expand U.S. influence in the region.

Trump’s offer came after Denmark’s Joint Arctic Command evacuated a crew member from a U.S. submarine seven nautical miles outside Greenland’s capital, Nuuk.
The crew member was transferred by a Danish Defense Seahawk helicopter to a hospital in Nuuk and handed over to Greenlandic health authorities, the Joint Arctic Command said.
