Summary
France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, warned Donald Trump against threatening EU sovereign borders after Trump suggested potential military action to control Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Barrot dismissed such actions as unacceptable and noted the return of “the law of the strongest.”
Trump previously called Greenland essential to U.S. economic security, though Denmark and Greenland’s leaders firmly rejected any sale.
Trump Jr.’s brief visit to Nuuk further escalated tensions.
