French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Greenland to reinforce European support for the territory’s sovereignty following threats from former US President Trump to acquire the island. In his remarks, Macron stressed that Greenland is not for sale and emphasized European solidarity with the region amidst increasing US interest in the strategically crucial Arctic. His visit is at the invitation of Greenland's Prime Minister and aims to bolster ties while discussing Arctic security and Greenland's development, respecting its independence and territorial integrity.
Trump has repeatedly said the US needs the strategically located, resource-rich Arctic island for security reasons, and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it.
Macron's trip will be 'a signal in itself made at the request of Danish and Greenlandic authorities', his office said.
