'Oreshnik can hit DC in 26 mins, US could stop it if…': Czech PM explains why Trump wants Greenland

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) said today, when asked whether he can clearly say on behalf of the Czech government that the Czech Republic stands behind Greenland, that he cannot. Within the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), the leader is the United States and clashes are counterproductive, he added. Because of the latest developments around Greenland and in connection with the threats of US President Donald Trump, the European Council will meet on Thursday, where Babiš will represent the Czech Republic. “We definitely prefer that an agreement be reached within the alliance. It would be very unfortunate if there were simply some clashes,” Babiš said. He stated that he bought a big beautiful globe for 15,000 crowns because of the dispute so that he could see exactly where Greenland is located. “That Orešnik would fly from Russia to the White House in 26 minutes and the 11th minute is precisely over Greenland, so President Trump’s arguments about China and Russia are relevant, but it is simply necessary to come to an agreement. Some appeals or declarations are pointless,” he said, referring to the Russian supersonic ballistic missile.
