EU mulling response to Trump’s Greenland threat

The EU has discussed a potential European response if the US follows through on its threat to acquire Greenland, foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has said.

US President Donald Trump restated his long-held interest in taking over the autonomous Danish territory shortly after Washington attacked Venezuela last weekend.

Copenhagen has said Trump must be taken “seriously when he says he wants Greenland.”

Trump and his administration have been discussing a potential bid to purchase the Arctic island, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Wednesday last week.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday last week, EU foreign policy chief Kallas said “the messages that we hear regarding Greenland are extremely concerning.”

She added that European leaders have discussed “if this is a real threat, and if it is, what would be our response.” – RT
