Antonio Costa: Greenland Belongs to its People and has the Full Support of the European Union

European Council President Antonio Costa assured that the European Union will stand with Denmark and Greenland, stating unequivocally that “we will not accept violations of international law, wherever they occur.” He emphasized that Greenland belongs to its people and that no decision can be made for Denmark or Greenland without their consent. This statement comes in response to recent expressions of interest from the US President in acquiring control of Greenland, arguing that it is strategically important to the US. Costa urged EU member states to resist any attack on the rules-based international order, stressing that the EU will remain a steadfast defender of international law and multilateralism.
