‘If the United States attacks another Nato country, everything stops,’ warned Denmark
Europe has hit back after Donald Trump threatened to annex Greenland, days after toppling Venezuela’s leadership with the shock capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
The American leader said the Arctic island is “so strategic right now” and that annexation would benefit both the European Union and the US.
“We do need Greenland, absolutely,” he told The Atlantic, sparking waves of condemnation across Europe. “We need it for defence.”
“The EU will continue to uphold the principles of national sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,” EU spokesperson, Anitta Hipper, said on Monday.
“These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them, all the more so if the territorial integrity of a member state of the European Union is questioned.”
The comments come amid a string of barely veiled threats to a host of other countries over the weekend as Mr Trump warned Mexico to “get its act together” and effectively told Colombian president Gustavo Petro that his country could be the next to face military action.
