Germany and France Condemn Trump’s Threat to Seize Greenland

Germany and France have criticized Donald Trump’s comments about using force to take control of Greenland. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot both affirmed that the European Union would not tolerate any violation of sovereign borders.

Trump has long expressed interest in acquiring Greenland for its strategic location, citing its military value, but Denmark and Greenland have rejected the notion. Greenland’s leaders continue to advocate for self-determination and independence, reaffirming the island’s sovereignty.

Trump’s remarks, while raising tensions, underscore the broader geopolitical and strategic interests surrounding Greenland, which is home to valuable resources and military significance.
