France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said that the EU would not allow any country to “attack its sovereign borders”, after Donald Trump refused to rule out taking Greenland by force.
Asked about the prospect of the US invading the Danish territory, Barrot told the France Inter radio station: “There is obviously no question of the European Union letting other nations in the world, whoever they are, and I would even say starting with Russia, attack its sovereign borders. We are a strong continent, we need to strengthen ourselves further.”
He added that he did not expect Trump to invade Greenland but added that Europe needed to “wake up” to a more insecure world.
