European Parliament Condemns US Interest in Greenland

The European Parliament strongly condemns President Trump's statements regarding the potential purchase of Greenland by the United States. Leaders of the political groups within the European Parliament have described these announcements as a challenge to international law, the United Nations Charter, and the national sovereignty of Denmark, which holds sovereignty over Greenland. The parliament emphasizes that the security of the Arctic is a strategic priority for the European Union and is committed to safeguarding it. The EU unequivocally condemns any attempt to change the status quo in the region. The joint statement highlights the need to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states, even NATO allies. This move is considered particularly problematic due to the geopolitical importance of Greenland. Denmark has already begun sending additional military reinforcements to Greenland, possibly in response to US intentions and to strengthen its presence in the area. The situation is being closely monitored by the European Union and its member states.
