Europe rallies behind Denmark to resist US ambitions on Greenland
Denmark is doing everything possible to dissuade Trump from wanting to take control of Greenland. The country's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, announced that she has received support from "European leaders."
In recent weeks, Trump has discussed the possibility of the USA taking over Greenland. He has not ruled out using force or economic pressure against Denmark through tariffs. His statements have been met with outrage in many Western countries, especially in Denmark, which governs Greenland.
Prime Minister Frederiksen said the French president was one of the European leaders who supported her in opposing Trump's plans. After a meeting with Emmanuel Macron, she emphasized that she received "great support" from him on this matter.
She highlighted that the people of Greenland "do not want to be Americans," although they are open to cooperation with the USA. Friends from the Nordic countries, Europe, and outside Europe have made it clear that, of course, the territories and sovereignty of states must be respected, she declared.
Scholz outraged by Trump's words. Strong words uttered
Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized in response to Trump's remarks that "borders cannot be shifted by force".
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the European Union Military Committee, General Robert Brieger, stated that for global security, it would be beneficial for EU military forces to be stationed in Greenland alongside American troops.
