Why It Matters

格陵蘭是丹麥的自治領地,雖不屬於歐盟,但因其在北極的戰略位置、礦產資源及氣候變遷影響,成為大國競爭的焦點。美國總統川普曾公開表示希望取得格陵蘭控制權,後改以經濟與外交施壓。

(中央社哥本哈根6日綜合外電報導)歐洲聯盟執行委員會主席范德賴恩預定今天啟程前往格陵蘭,以兩天的訪問行程重申歐盟對這個丹麥自治領地的支持。格陵蘭具有重要戰略地位,美國總統川普再三表示要取得控制權,引發關注。

法新社報導,范德賴恩(Ursula von der Leyen)啟程後,預計明天與格陵蘭簽署歐盟—格陵蘭聯合聲明。

丹麥皇家國防學院(Royal Danish Defence College)研究員傑考布森(Marc Jacobsen)對法新社表示:「格陵蘭作為通往北極的門戶,在地緣政治、關鍵原物料和北極安全等層面,對歐盟日益重要。」

今年稍早,川普(Donald Trump)堅稱,基於國安理由,美國需要掌控格陵蘭這個幅員遼闊的北極島嶼。不過他最終排除以武力併吞的可能性。

此後,丹麥、格陵蘭與美國共同成立的工作小組定期開會,尋求針對未來合作事宜取得協議。

川普發言後,歐洲多國普遍表態支持丹麥與格陵蘭。范德賴恩今年1月也承諾,歐盟將「大規模」投資格陵蘭,提升北極安全。

雖然丹麥為歐盟成員國,但格陵蘭本身並不屬於歐盟。

歐盟已提議於2028-2034年新預算期間,將直接援助格陵蘭的金額加倍至5億3000萬歐元(約新台幣195億元)。根據「金融時報」(Financial Times)報導,范德賴恩這次訪問預料將提出額外2億歐元的支持方案。

范德賴恩出訪格陵蘭的同時,北大西洋公約組織(NATO)也聚集10國官兵舉行「北極之盾」(Arctic Shield)軍演。

加拿大魁北克大學(University of Quebec)地緣政治研究員布魯強-梅瑞德(Mikaa Blugeon-Mered)認為,這種時間點的巧合「絕非偶然」。

川普政府多次指控丹麥忽略格陵蘭及北極安全議題。哥本哈根近來加大區域投資,北大西洋公約組織也自年初啟動「北極衛哨」任務。

傑考布森指出:「雖然歐盟無法像北約一樣提供格陵蘭安全保障,但可從政治層面發揮重要作用,明確傳達格陵蘭並非孤立無援的訊息。」

當美國持續對格陵蘭施壓之際,這種訊息格外具有意義。雖然川普自特使藍德瑞(Jeff Landry)5月訪問後較少公開表態,但布魯強-梅瑞德形容,「我們每個月都會收到川普或其親信寄來的關於格陵蘭的『明信片』,顯示他們並未忘記這個地方」。

格陵蘭也努力發展礦業,希望藉此籌措財源,推動脫離丹麥獨立。

傑考布森指出,此一領域格陵蘭與歐洲的利益「高度互補」。他說:「格陵蘭要實現其礦業願景,需要資金、基礎建設與市場;而歐盟則尋求關鍵原物料的多元、安全來源」。

布魯強-梅瑞德表示,范德賴恩兩年內第2度訪問格陵蘭,強烈顯示歐洲投資布局著眼長期。

期間,范德賴恩將與格陵蘭總理尼爾森(Jens-Frederik Nielsen)、丹麥總理佛瑞德里克森(Mette Frederiksen),以及丹麥另一自治領地法羅群島(Faroe Islands)首長舉行會談。
