Mihkelson said that international relations are changing rapidly. Alongside Venezuela, it is important to monitor the situation in Greenland, Iran, and Taiwan. He mentioned that the shield of international law is currently weak.
Mihkelson recalled that US President Trump warned Greenland. Trump said that the US wants to increase its influence in Greenland. This provoked a response among the Nordic leaders. For example, Alexander Stubb spoke clearly in favor of Greenland and Denmark.
Greenland is part of Denmark. Without the consent of Greenland and Denmark, decisions concerning Greenland cannot be made. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna supported Greenland and Denmark.
Mihkelson also spoke about China and the situation in Taiwan. He asked whether the events in Venezuela could help China make a decision regarding Taiwan. He also mentioned the unrest in Iran and the movements of US air forces.
Mihkelson does not see direct changes for Russia. He said that Putin should be concerned if the US provides Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles. The US and Europe may put economic pressure on Russia.
Venezuela's oil reserves could affect global oil prices. The US wants to control Venezuela's oil production. This could also affect Russia.
Mihkelson is skeptical about Delcy Rodriguez, who is fulfilling the duties of the Venezuelan president. He said that Rodriguez has been close to Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. She has been involved in torture and Maduro's politics. The question is whether the Venezuelan people will have the opportunity to decide their own future.
