European Leaders Unite to Reject Trump’s Greenland Sovereignty Demands
European leaders firmly rejected President Trump's demands to purchase Greenland, citing sovereignty and international law, while Trump threatened tariffs on eight European nations.
- Last week at Davos, European leaders issued repeated public rejections of President Donald Trump's renewed Greenland threat, marking rare unity after a year of struggle.
- Following his Jan. 5 remarks, President Donald Trump vowed to take over Greenland and threatened a 10% import tax within a month on goods from eight European nations, rising to 25% on June 1 if no deal was reached.
- Several leaders said Europe will not be blackmailed over Greenland, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged unity and refused sovereignty talks, while Britain's Keir Starmer and Norway's Jonas Gahr Støre condemned threats.
- Mr. Trump responded by stepping back last week at Davos, canceling his force threat and announcing a framework amid U.S. domestic pressures including an upcoming Supreme Court decision and congressional elections.
- Leaders warned a rupture in the alliance had occurred, with the Greenland episode crossing new red lines on sovereignty, while NATO members' prior moves position Europe to resist coercion and reshape dynamics.
