EU won’t tolerate attacks on its borders, French foreign minister says after Trump’s Greenland comments

The European Union will firmly protect its sovereign borders against any external threats, stated French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot in reaction to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump‘s remarks about Greenland and its “ownership and control.” This Arctic territory has been under Danish governance for more than 600 years.

Barrot emphasized, “There is absolutely no scenario in which the European Union would permit other countries to infringe upon its sovereign borders, regardless of their identity… We are a resilient continent.”
