French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot says EU will not let Trump ‘attack its sovereign borders’ ‘We are a strong continent’, Barrot fiercely stated Wednesday.
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has fiercely defended the EU in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. should take “ownership and control of Greenland.”.
Speaking on the France Inter radio station Wednesday, Barrot said: "There is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are.
While he did not anticipate a U.S. invasion of Greenland, he suggested that global power structures had shifted stating: “If you’re asking me whether I think the United States will invade Greenland, my answer is no.
Taking to Truth Social last month, the president-elect wrote: “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”.
