Trump wants Greenland. European leaders issued a joint statement
In response to the territorial ambitions of the United States regarding Greenland, several European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, issued a joint statement.

In this statement, it is emphasized that the security of the Arctic is critically important for Europe and the international community as a whole.

“NATO has unequivocally identified the Arctic region as a priority. European allies are increasing their efforts in this direction. We, like many other allies, are enhancing our presence, activity, and investments to ensure security in the Arctic and deter threats. Denmark, including Greenland, is part of NATO. Collective security in the Arctic must be ensured through the joint efforts of NATO allies, including the United States, based on the principles of the UN Charter, such as sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will defend these foundations. The United States is an important partner in these efforts, as a NATO ally and under the defense agreement with Denmark signed in 1951. Greenland belongs to its people, and only they, along with Denmark, should make decisions regarding their future,” the document states.
It is worth noting that Donald Trump had previously expressed his desire for Canada and Greenland to become part of the United States. He also stated his intention to regain control of the Panama Canal for the U.S., which provoked a negative reaction from the authorities of Panama, Canada, and Denmark.

It is important to note that Greenland, possessing significant natural resources such as oil and gas, continues to be economically dependent on financial support from Denmark.
