European leaders have issued a stern warning to US President Donald Trump, signaling that any attempt by the United States to take control of Greenland will be met with an unrelenting and decisive response. The EU's top official, Ursula von der Leyen, cautioned that Washington's actions would only lead to relations plummeting into a downward spiral.
Meanwhile, Greenland's Prime Minister has told his countrymen to prepare for the possibility of military force, as tensions rise over the US president's plans to discuss taking control of the autonomous Danish territory. The prospect of a meeting between Trump and Greenland's leader in Davos appears increasingly unlikely, with von der Leyen's words suggesting that Europe will not be swayed by Washington's diplomatic efforts.
The US president has long made ambitious claims about his vision for America's Arctic ambitions, including taking control of Greenland. However, European leaders are united in their determination to protect the island's sovereignty and territorial integrity. As one thing is certain, it is clear that neither side will back down without a fight – and the implications for global politics and diplomacy are still unfolding.
