Europe warns US: Greenland decision belongs to Denmark only
European leaders have warned that only Greenland and Denmark can decide the Arctic island’s future, responding to US comments dismissing “international niceties.” The remarks, linked to renewed US interest in Greenland’s strategic value, have raised concerns about respect for sovereignty and international law. Europe’s joint statement stresses unity, territorial integrity, and the rules-based order, signalling unease that power politics could override established norms and strain transatlantic relations at a moment of heightened global tension.
