US EditionFrance Requests NATO Exercise in Greenland to Strengthen Alliance
France proposed a NATO military exercise in Greenland to counter US efforts, signaling a firm European stance amid Arctic geopolitical tensions, Macron’s office said.
- On Wednesday, France's presidential office requested NATO hold an exercise in Greenland and said it is ready to contribute, announcing this as leaders met at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
- Donald Trump's push to acquire Greenland has prompted pushback from European leaders, with Emmanuel Macron calling NATO a "weakened institution" amid these tensions on Tuesday.
- Greenland is identified as a semi‑autonomous territory of Denmark, and Denmark is a member of NATO and the EU, reinforcing European leaders in Davos' unified stance against Trump's America First policy.
- It was not immediately clear whether U.S. forces would join any Greenland drill despite being NATO's largest military contingent, while European opposition has delayed a planned $800 billion prosperity plan for Ukraine at Davos.
- As Trump arrived in Davos, France framed the exercise request as a way to strengthen the alliance and respond to U.S. pressure, the French presidential office said.
