After one of Donald Trump’s top advisors said that the US might be prepared to use force to take control of the Arctic territory, European leaders dramatically united in favor of Denmark and Greenland.
In a rare European rebuke to the White House, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of the Danish crown, “belongs to its people.”
In a joint statement with the prime ministers of Denmark, Italy, Poland, and Spain on Tuesday, the three leaders declared, “It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them alone, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.
However, in an attempt to strengthen support for Kyiv prior to the Greenland crisis, Starmer, Macron, and Merz decided to concentrate on making new security pledges to Ukraine in order to prevent widening the transatlantic divide.
Following the US military’s seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, increased US efforts to take over the self-governing territory gave rise to the European declaration.
Stephen Miller, the US president’s powerful deputy chief of staff for policy, stated on Monday night that “nobody [was] going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland” in response to a request to rule out the use of force.
