Macron: 'Unprecedented' Consequences from Violation of Greenland Sovereignty

French President Emmanuel Macron warned that any violation of Greenland's sovereignty would have 'unprecedented, cascading consequences', responding to Donald Trump's threats to take control of Greenland. He stressed that France is monitoring the situation very closely and will fully support Denmark and its sovereignty. Mr. Macron has contacted the Prime Minister of Denmark, as well as the leaders of Germany and the United Kingdom, to discuss the situation. The French government does not underestimate Mr. Trump's statements and considers it important to ensure Greenland's sovereignty. The French President's warning underscores international concern over the US President's statements and the need to respect international law and national sovereignty.
