France and Germany Warn Trump Against Military Action on EU's Greenland, Amid Trump Jr. Visit
Jan 8, 2025, 12:28 PM
France and Germany have issued warnings to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump against threatening the European Union's 'sovereign borders' following his refusal to rule out military action to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a member of the EU. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot emphasized that the EU would not tolerate attacks on its territories, describing Europe as a strong continent that needs to strengthen itself further. German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit echoed this sentiment, stating that borders must not be moved by force. Trump's comments, which included not ruling out military or economic measures to gain control over Greenland and the Panama Canal, have stirred controversy and concern among European leaders. These statements coincide with a private visit by Donald Trump Jr. to Greenland, highlighting the ongoing territorial sovereignty issues.
