Greenland: ‘Oreshnik can hit DC in 26 mins, US could stop it if…’: Czech PM explains why Trump wants Greenland – The Economic Times Video
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) today, when asked whether he could publicly say on behalf of the Czech government that the Czech Republic is behind Greenland, said he could not do so. He added that the leader in the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) is the United States and that conflicts have adverse effects. Due to the latest developments around Greenland and the threats of US President Donald Trump, the European Council will meet on Thursday and Babiš will represent the Czech Republic. “We would definitely prefer to reach an agreement within the alliance. It would be very unfortunate if there were just some conflicts,” Babiš said. He stated that due to the dispute, he bought a large, beautiful globe for 15,000 crowns so that he could see exactly where Greenland was. “Orešnik will fly from Russia to the White House in 26 minutes, and at the 11th minute he is exactly over Greenland, so President Trump’s claims about China and Russia are valid, but it is only necessary to reach an agreement. Some objections or statements are meaningless,” he said, referring to Russia’s supersonic ballistic missile.
