Kallas: The EU is Discussing a Response to the US Threat to Greenland

The European Union is discussing potential responses to the US threat to acquire Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark. The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, described the messages heard about Greenland as “extremely worrying”. Despite the attention being given to the case, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Donald Trump remains committed to the NATO alliance, even as discussions are held about the possible purchase of Greenland. The discussion about the possible acquisition of Greenland by the US has caused concern in Europe, as it could have geopolitical implications for the region. The EU is considering ways to address the situation and protect its interests.
