Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes.

We have also made clear that Arctic Security matters for the whole of NATO and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.

Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration.

France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.

It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.

It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.

No intimidation or threat will influence us—neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations.

Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner should they be confirmed. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld.

It is in this spirit that I will engage with our European partners.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law.

They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

We have consistently underlined our shared transatlantic interest in peace and security in the Arctic, including through NATO.

The pre-coordinated Danish exercise, conducted with allies, responds to the need to strengthen Arctic security and poses no threat to anyone.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland. Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

A terrible idea. President Trump is completely wrong to announce tariffs on the UK over Greenland. People in both UK and US will face higher costs.

These tariffs will be yet another burden for businesses across our country. The sovereignty of Greenland should only be decided by the people of Greenland.

On this, I agree with Keir Starmer.

Hypocritical hypocrites!

Greenland is about to become what parts of Gaza Palestine is to thr occupation forces these hypocrites support in Palestine.

Trump has scant regard for them and even fears and respects Iran more than the whole of Europe.

Putin is bashing them in the East while Trump is doing his own from the west. EU is literally gone.

Personally, I applaud some of Trump's right-wing ideologies and fights.

However, his illegal planned seizure of Greenland will be his biggest mistake and that if the US. It will further cement the isolation of USA from its allies and the world in general.

Canada just stroke some highly significant partnership deals with China this week. Thereby cutting off the US.

Mexico is considering more diversification from the American market. Brazil is already with BRICS.

So which spine will American international trade and partnerships leverage on?

Reality is that the rest of the the world want respect from their partners and not bullying or trash talking. China is giving them these things.

Africa? That trump sees as shithole.

Reality is that the rest of the the world want respect from their partners. US have to Taylor it's geopolitical goals along that line.

Yes, Greenland is by the American burder, but so it is to Russia and some others.

Trump seems to be very mentally unstable and has no regard for his so called allies. One moment, he is doing well and the next moment, he is becoming a nuisance. At the end of the day, we can all see that his appetite has only grown larger after his actions in Venezuela were allowed without being challenged. He will only keep doing more. It's a thing of shame for me that I supported such a fellow during their campaign(even though my support had no electoral value). His actions so far has just been appalling.
