France Warns President-elect Trump Over Greenland, Panama Canal Threats to EU Sovereignty
Jan 8, 2025, 10:21 AM
France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has warned US President-elect Donald Trump against threatening the European Union's sovereign borders, following Trump's comments on possibly using military or economic pressure to take control of Greenland and regain control over the Panama Canal. Barrot stated that the EU would not tolerate any attacks on its borders and called for Europe to "wake up" in response to the return of "the law of the strongest." Trump's remarks included not ruling out military action to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, an EU member. The French response reflects growing concern among EU leaders over Trump's statements regarding territorial sovereignty.
