Published January 15, 2026, 09:24

The European Parliament has expressed its full and unequivocal support for Denmark and Greenland in response to challenges to their sovereignty. It emphasizes that any attempt to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the two countries constitutes a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. Security in the Arctic is considered a strategic priority for the EU, which seeks sustainable development and enhanced cooperation with the region's citizens. The EU is covered by NATO and encourages strengthening European defense. Decisions regarding Denmark and Greenland belong exclusively to them, while statements made by the former Trump administration regarding Greenland are condemned. The European Parliament calls on the European Commission and the European Council to provide concrete support to Greenland and Denmark.
