For the record, Greenland has a public health care system based on Denmark’s which provides care even in remote settlements.
I’ve accessed it myself, in 2015, I was treated for pneumonia, and in 2018, for broken ribs. No questions asked, never saw a bill.
Easy to understand Greenlander’s suspicions about a ‘hospital” ship being sent from the US.
Report above from Meidas Touch covers a lot of ground not just about the dodgy medical story, but also about US nuclear submarine activities that have come to light in the area – and a weird story about Russian development of Natural Gas proposed for he Alaskan arctic.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said “no thanks” Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s idea of sending a hospital ship to Greenland, a territory that Trump has repeatedly said he wishes to take over.
Trump said Saturday on social media he was working with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, his special envoy to Greenland, to send a hospital boat to Greenland.
American financier Gentry Beach, who has ties to U.S. President Donald Trump’s family, signed an agreement with Russia’s energy giant Novatek (NVTK.MM), opens new tablast autumn to develop natural gas in Alaska amid Western sanctions against Russia, the New York Times reported on Friday.
In August, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska for talks aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
U.S. and Russian officials discussed several potential energy deals on the sidelines of the negotiations. Sources familiar with the talks said the business proposals were designed to encourage the Kremlin to agree to a peace deal in Ukraine and for Washington to ease sanctions on Russia.
It also shows how the Kremlin’s messaging about what it says are immense business opportunities in Russia — an aide to Mr. Putin this week put their value at an improbable $14 trillion — is starting to resonate in the United States.
“Trump is a transactional president,” Mr. Beach said in an interview. “I don’t think people would have felt as comfortable working with Russian companies during the Biden administration as they do during the Trump administration.”
The project is in its early stages and faces steep hurdles, and Mr. Beach declined to disclose the financial details. The Russian company, Novatek, said it was “indeed having negotiations on the potential use” of its technology to liquefy natural gas in remote northern Alaska.
