France and Partners Prepare Response Plan for Greenland

France is working with its partners on a plan to respond if the United States follows through with its threat to occupy Greenland, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated. The French Foreign Minister clarified that the issue will be raised during his meeting with his German and Polish counterparts later today. The White House announced yesterday that Donald Trump is discussing options for taking control of Greenland, including the possible use of the US military. This move indicates growing concern in Europe about potential US aggression in the region. France seeks to coordinate a common European response to this unforeseen scenario.
