Several European leaders, including Macron, have publicly stated: support for Denmark and Greenland

Facing America's expansionist ambitions, several European leaders, including French President Macron, publicly expressed support for Denmark and Greenland on Tuesday. They emphasized that only Denmark and Greenland are the masters of their future.

Leaders from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the UK, and Denmark issued a joint statement, stating that as an autonomous territory of Denmark, Greenland "belongs to its people."

The joint statement also noted that the security of the Arctic region is a "core priority" for Europe and is crucial to international and transatlantic security. The statement also said that Denmark and its territory Greenland are both NATO members, and since 1951, Denmark has been linked with the United States through a defense agreement.

As European leaders issued this statement, US President Trump reiterated his ambition to annex Greenland on Sunday, saying that controlling Greenland is "indispensable" for US national security.

In the statement, European leaders emphasized: "The security of the Arctic region must be safeguarded through collective means, in cooperation with NATO allies, including the United States, under the principles of the UN Charter, especially respecting the principles of state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and inviolability of borders."

European leaders also stated: "These are universal principles, and we will resolutely defend them... Issues concerning Denmark and Greenland can only be decided by Denmark and Greenland themselves."

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof also announced via social platform X that the Netherlands had joined this joint statement.

Greenland hopes for a "mutually respectful dialogue."

Greenland's Prime Minister Nielsen welcomed the support from Europe, and again called for a "mutually respectful dialogue" with the United States. He stated on Facebook: "Dialogue must be based on mutual respect because Greenland's status is rooted in international law and the principle of territorial integrity."
