Summary

Germany and France criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump after he refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory and part of the EU and NATO.

Germany stressed borders must not be changed by force, citing the UN Charter, while France warned against threats to EU sovereignty.

Trump defended his position on national security grounds, proposing tariffs on Denmark if it resists.

Denmark and Greenland rejected the idea, with Greenland’s leader reiterating its desire for independence, not U.S. annexation.

    I was hoping that he would become too senile to lead before that but now I’m realizing it won’t be noticeable.

      Have you heard his incoherent ramblings?! He already was too senile to lead in 2016. It’s not like that prevented Americans from electing him the first time…
