The EU has discussed what a European response would look like if the US threats to acquire Greenland, a self-governed Danish territory, were real, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.<\/p>\n
“The messages that we hear regarding Greenland are extremely concerning,” Kallas told reporters at a press briefing with Egypt’s Foreign Affairs minister Badr Abdelatty in Cairo on Thursday.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump remains committed to the NATO alliance even as he and his national security team are holding active discussions about a US purchase of Greenland, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Denmark has welcomed a meeting with the US next week to discuss Trump\u2019s renewed call for Greenland to come under American control.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the dialogue that is needed, as requested by the government together with the Greenlandic government,\u201d Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen told Danish broadcaster DR on Thursday.<\/p>\n
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said on Wednesday that a meeting about Greenland would happen next week, without giving details about timing, location or participants.<\/p>\n
Greenland’s government has told Danish public broadcaster DR that Greenland will participate in the meeting between Denmark and the US announced by Rubio.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing about Greenland without Greenland. Of course, we will be there. We are the ones who requested the meeting,\u201d Greenland\u2019s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt told DR.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreenland belongs to its people,” Antonio Costa, the President of the European Council, said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The EU has discussed what a European response would look like if the US threats to acquire Greenland,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,299,5187],"class_list":{"0":"post-682672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-european"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115860666052810082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
