Macron Warns of 'Unprecedented Cascading Consequences' if US Seizes Greenland, Government Spokeswoman Says [View all]
.French President Emmanuel Macron warned Wednesday that any violation of Greenlands sovereignty would trigger unprecedented cascading consequences, as U.S. President Donald Trump ramps up pressure to take control of the Arctic territory.
The statement came during a cabinet meeting, according to French government spokesperson Maud Bregeon, who quoted Macron as saying: We do not underestimate the statements on Greenland. If the sovereignty of a European and allied country were affected, the cascading consequences would be unprecedented. Bregeon added that France is following the situation with the greatest attention and will act in full solidarity with Denmark and its sovereignty.
This directly references Trumps repeated assertions that the U.S. should acquire Greenlandan autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmarkfor national security and resource reasons, as covered in detail by Reuters. The warning highlights broader European concerns about potential fallout for NATO cohesion and transatlantic relations if forceful action is pursued, with additional context from Le Monde.
Earlier on Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the EUs strong relationship with Greenland, assuring its people of European support amid the tensions.
