NUUK, GREENLAND (AP) – The legislative power of Greenland debated on Tuesday whether he would prohibit political parties to receive contributions “from foreign or anonymous contributors” after President Donald Trump had imposed ambitions for the United States for the vast island that belongs to Denmark to take over.
Inatsisartut, the Parliament of Greenland, discussed the proposal that each party would also prohibit domestic private contributions that are more than $ 2,770) for a single contribution for a single contributor for a total of $ 27,700) .
The Government of Greenland asked the five -member chairmanship of the Parliament to consider a bill aimed at “protecting the political integrity of Greenland” that would immediately come into force.

The bill “should be seen in the light of the geopolitical interests in Greenland and the current situation in which representatives of an allied great power have shown interest to take over and control Greenland,” said a translation of a parliamentary document in Danish in The degree.
The move occurs on the parliamentary elections that must be held in Greenland by April.
Kent Fridberg, a senior legal officer at Parliament, said he did not know whether such foreign donors had already contributed to the political parties of Greenland and the idea for the bill was ‘actually a preventive measure’.
Speaking by telephone against the Associated Press, Fridberg noted that Trump pronounced Trump’s interest in Greenland – and said that some Russian politicians had expressed a similar interest – and that parties on the island are generally financed by public resources.
Before he took office for his second term on January 20, Trump said he would not exclude the use of military violence to grab control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, because he declared American control over both vital importance for the American national safety.
The US President repeated his ambitions on the issue in comments to reporters last week. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., visited the mineral -rich territory that is the home of a large American military base at the beginning of last month and told the citizens: “We are going to treat you well.”
