Germany To Trump: Europe Would Defend Greenland
NBC News reports:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that the leaders of the nations of the European Union would not tolerate the violation of the Danish territory’s borders, the sovereignty of which is a principle of international law.
“In my discussions with our European partners, a certain lack of understanding has emerged with regard to recent statements from the USA,” Scholz said, adding that “the principle of inviolability of borders applies to every country, regardless of whether it is to the east or west of us.”
His comments came after Trump on Tuesday declined to rule out military action or economic coercion in trying to claim Greenland. His remarks came in a media conference as his son Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland’s capital, Nuuk.
