Macron visits Greenland in support of Danish sovereignty after Trump remarks
French President Emmanuel Macron met with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Greenland on Sunday in a pointed display of solidarity, following recent comments by U.S. President Donald Trump about annexing the autonomous Danish territory.
The meeting comes after President Trump stated that the United States would, for its own security interests, need to annex the strategic Arctic island "sooner or later."
The joint visit by the French and Danish leaders is being seen as a direct rebuke to Trump's remarks and a strong reaffirmation of Greenland's status as a sovereign part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Neither leader immediately issued a public statement, but the visit itself carries significant diplomatic weight amid rising Arctic tensions.
