French President Emmanuel Macron visited Greenland to convey a message of solidarity and friendship from France and the EU, amidst U.S. President Trump's controversial remarks regarding the territory. Macron's visit serves as a strong show of European support, affirming that Greenland's territorial integrity must be respected. As NATO allies, Denmark and France reiterate that Greenland is not for sale and that the future direction of the territory will be determined by its people. This visit comes ahead of key international discussions involving Trump's administration.
Macron hailed the importance of solidarity among allies, asserting, 'I don't think that's what allies do,' in response to questions regarding Trump's ambitions for Greenland.
Highlighting the significance of the visit, Macron said, 'It's important to show that Denmark and Europe are committed to this territory, which has very high strategic stakes...'
Macron emphasized European backing for Greenland, stating the commitment to 'respect territorial integrity' amid Trump's previous comments intending to 'get' the territory.
Responding to Trump's previous assertions of Greenland's purchase, Denmark reiterated, 'Greenland is not for sale,' emphasizing local governance in determining their future.
