'It is out of the question...': France says EU won’t let Trump invade Greenland
Firstpost“It is out of the question that the European Union would let other countries … attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are,” said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot A day after US President-elect Donald Trump refused to rule out military force to take Greenland, France on Wednesday said that the EU won’t allow other countries to attack their sovereign borders. “It is out of the question that the European Union would let other countries … attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are,” Politico quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot as saying on French radio. “I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump was quoted as saying, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.” Trump told residents of Greenland that “we’re going to treat you well” as his son Donald Trump Jr. visited the mineral-rich Danish territory that’s home to a large US military base, heightening speculation that the incoming US administration could seek to acquire it.
