"French President Emmanuel Macron hosted the prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland on Wednesday, while top EU officials at a defense summit in Brussels called for a proactive response to Donald Trump's recent Greenland demands. The leaders called for an urgent European response, taking greater responsibility for its own security, albeit while maintaining the close defense ties with the US touted by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte earlier in the week."
"Macron said in Paris that the arguments over Greenland at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week needed to prompt an "awakening" in Europe. He said this would have to focus "on asserting our European sovereignty, on our contribution to Arctic security, on the fight against foreign interference and disinformation, and on the fight against global warming." Speaking to Denmark's Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Macron also confirmed France's solidarity and "its commitment to your sovereignty and territorial integrity.""
