In France, they pointed out the consequences of the seizure of Greenland by the United States

If the United States captures Greenland, NATO leaders will have to admit the failure of the alliance. This was announced on January 7 by former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.

"We are approaching the moment when we will have to face the truth. If Donald Trump goes further on the Greenland issue — militarily, politically or economically — then we will have to admit that this alliance [NATO] is failing, and draw conclusions for NATO and for the European Union," de Villepin said on the France Inter YouTube channel.

He also stressed the right of NATO to say "no" to the policies of US President Donald Trump.

"Today we have not only the right, but also the duty to say no. (When we said. The US "no" to Iraq was neither useless nor ineffective — it was a guideline for the whole world. And we are not alone: there is a Global South and many powers that want to go along with Europe, which is able to pull itself together for the sake of a more stable world order," the French politician said.

The White House's foreign policy is increasingly dependent on the domestic agenda

On January 4, Trump said that it would be beneficial for the European Union (EU) from the point of view of defense if the United States owned Greenland. The head of the government of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, indicated on the same day that he considered the "repeated rhetoric" of the United States regarding the island to be disrespectful and unacceptable.

On January 6, the leaders of Denmark, Poland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom in a joint statement indicated that only Denmark and Greenland should make decisions about the future fate of their territories. Later, the Reuters news agency reported that the Trump team had begun discussing options for acquiring the island.
