At an informal meeting where MEPs exchanged greetings for the upcoming New Year, Kallas made this joking remark. According to two witnesses, she clarified that, despite not having a habit of excessive alcohol consumption, current events might serve as a reason to consider such a step.
At the same time, the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark were holding a meeting with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing potential threats from Donald Trump regarding the Arctic region.
Amid concerns about a possible annexation of Greenland, growing protests against the Islamist regime in Iran, and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, as well as U.S. operations in Venezuela, geopolitical issues are becoming increasingly relevant for the European Union. In response to the suppression of protests in Iran, POLITICO reported Kallas's intention to impose new sanctions against this country, where, according to reports, hundreds of people have died.
