“The EU supports Denmark and the peoples of Greenland and we are united in our resolve (…) We are Europe and we will always stand up for our way.”

Info: The measures threatened over the weekend by the United States’ administration will not help improve security in the Arctic.

At the beginning of Parliament’s plenary session today, President Metsola addressed the increased pressure put on Denmark and Greenland by the US administration. Transatlantic and Arctic security can absolutely be achieved without the destabilising impact of calling Greenland and Denmark’s sovereignty into question, she added.

The Parliament will debate the EU’s response to President Trump’s claims on Greenland on 20 January at 13:00 CET.
