Macron offers to aid in Greenland's security amid Trump threats

 

President Emmanuel Macron said France would be available to conduct joint exercises to improve security in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by US President Donald Trump.

 

“Greenland is subject to preying ambitions,” Macron told reporters in Nuuk, Greenland, Sunday alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. “Everyone thinks — in France and in the EU — that Greenland shall neither be sold nor taken.”

 

Macron, who often casts himself as a defender of European sovereignty, is joining a chorus of leaders on the continent who have opposed Trump’s ambitions on island.

This should solely be a matter for Denmark, Norway and Canada working as allies in the North. 
 

Keep the French out of it, but rather as a solid partner against east in Europe.

Greenland is part of Europe, and a member of Denmark, which is part of the EU. Greenland also receives funding from the EU, so this is a matter for the whole block

 

Greenland is one of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) of the EU due to its political status in Kingdom of Denmark. As a result, Greenland has some integration with the EU's internal market via association agreements. It is also within the EU's common external tariff but they may charge customs in a non-discriminatory manner. Greenlandic nationals have EU citizenship.^[6] OCT nationals can be granted the right to vote for and participate in the election of the European Parliament, subject to the conditions defined by the related member states in compliance with Community law.^[7]
