The bloc's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, addressing a European Parliament meeting discussing Greenland and transatlantic relations in Strasbourg, said the European Union would not enter into a conflict with the United States over Greenland, but would stand by its position as it has the means to do so.
" We have no interest in starting a war, but we will stand our ground. Europe has a range of tools to defend its interests. While direct threats will not force Denmark to hand over Greenland, they only risk making both Europe and the United States poorer. The European Union stands unequivocally with Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark in defending their territorial integrity and sovereignty. Saturday's remarks by US President Donald Trump create a situation we have not experienced before. Our response must be to remain calm, stand our ground and act in unity ," she declared.
She added that the US and Denmark have held talks on Greenland, but the tone of these talks matters a lot.
"The United States, Denmark and Greenland have been engaged in direct talks. That's what responsible allies do, they talk. But the tone of these talks matters and the threats made outside of them ," she added.
Kallas again accused Russia and China of alleged attempts to undermine security in the Arctic, while calling on the United States to confront Russia and China in the Arctic and Greenland as part of NATO.
