Reference Message Network reported on June 14 that according to a report by Agence France-Presse on June 14, French President Macron will visit Greenland on the 15th to ensure that this autonomous Danish territory is not "exploited".
Before his visit, Macron said: "I want to say: we are here, and we are ready for reinvestment so that it will not be exploited."
Trump has repeatedly stated that for security reasons, the United States needs this strategically located and resource-rich Arctic island, and he refuses to rule out the possibility of using force to obtain it.
Most Greenlanders support independence as a long-term goal, and both Denmark and Greenland's local leaders insist that the future of this autonomous territory must be decided by themselves. They have repeatedly stated that Washington "will never get Greenland".
On September 9, Macron said at the United Nations Ocean Conference that the deep sea, Greenland, and Antarctica are "not for sale", apparently targeting Trump's expansionist claims.
In March this year, US Vice President Vance visited Greenland, which was seen by Greenland and Denmark as provocative.
However, Macron is visiting at the invitation of Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The president's office said that Macron's visit itself would be "a signal sent at the request of Denmark and the Greenland authorities".
The president's office also said that he would convey the message of "European unity in support of Greenland's sovereignty and territorial integrity". (Translated by Hu Wei)
