French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday a standoff with the United States over Greenland was “a strategic wake-up call for all of Europe“, speaking alongside the leaders of Denmark and the Danish autonomous territory.
The “awakening” must focus “on asserting our European sovereignty, on our contribution to Arctic security, on the fight against foreign interference and disinformation, and on the fight against global warming,” Macron said in Paris.
He said some words in the Indigenous Greenlandic language and then switching to the Danish language told the premier France would “be side-by-side” with the “Kingdom of Denmark”. (AFP)
