The Kremlin on Thursday said it is closely monitoring the “dramatic” comments made by President-elect Donald Trump over his desire to acquire Greenland amid his expansionist rhetoric to take over the Panama Canal and assume Canada as a “51st state.”
“The Arctic is a zone of our national interests, our strategic interests,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, according to a Reuters transcript. “We are interested in preserving the atmosphere of peace and stability in the Arctic zone.
“We are watching the rather dramatic development of the situation very closely, but so far, thank God, at the level of statements,” he added.
