France Unveils Plan to Counter Trump's Greenland Gambit, Backs Danish Sovereignty
In a bid to counter US President Donald Trump's efforts to annex Greenland, France is intensifying diplomatic efforts with European allies. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that protecting the semi-autonomous territory from US aggression would be a top priority in discussions with German and Polish officials.
Barrot rejected the idea of a US takeover, warning that it would undermine the interests of the United States. "It would make absolutely no sense for a NATO country to go after another NATO country," he said. This stance was echoed by a joint statement from leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the UK, and Denmark, who reiterated that any decision on Greenland's future should be made by the people of Denmark and Greenland.
The French government is concerned about Trump's push for a US takeover of Greenland, citing national security concerns as the motivation. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently stated that the United States intends to buy Greenland from Denmark. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that military intervention remains an option at the President's disposal.
The European leaders' united stance is aimed at protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Greenland. They emphasized the need for collective security in the Arctic, upholding principles such as non-interference and respect for borders.

like, can't he just chill on our behalf? anyway, i totally get why france and europe are stepping in, tho - it's all about protecting the people of greenland and their right to self-determination. we gotta support them & stand up for what's right! 
and can u believe rubio is already talking about buying greenland from denmark? 
like, who needs that kind of drama?! anyway, it's great to see europe taking a united stance on this - collective security is key! 
And what's with the US being all aggressive again? Can't they just chill and let countries sort out their own stuff?
But at the same time, I feel like this whole thing is kinda escalating and could lead to some major drama. Have we learned nothing from history? 
And what about the environmental concerns in the Arctic? Shouldn't we be prioritizing that instead of getting all caught up in territorial disputes?
But can't we just try to resolve conflicts peacefully instead of resorting to saber-rattling and military threats? 
France is totally right though, the US can't just go around taking over other countries' territory. That's like, basic human rights 101. And Denmark is all "oh no, our land is being threatened", but they should be all like "hey, we've got this". I mean, Greenland is literally a part of Denmark already, so what's the big deal? 
. I mean, if the US is really serious about taking over the territory, why not just do it directly? This whole "buying" thing seems like a way to test the waters and see how other countries react.
it's all about Denmark's sovereignty and the European alliance coming together to show their support 
I mean what even is the logic behind trying to take over another country in NATO? 
we need more countries standing up for each other like this 
. It's good to see them looking out for each other like that. I guess this is a sign of how important the Arctic region has become, and we should all be keeping an eye on it 
? And what about the Inuit people living there, they have their own culture and way of life, shouldn't that count for something? I'm also curious, how much is Greenland worth to Denmark anyway? Is it even gonna break the bank if Trump tries to buy it?
.
. And can we talk about how weird it is that he thinks Denmark would sell Greenland? Like, Denmark has its own government and people who get to decide their own future 
.
. We should all be celebrating the fact that international diplomacy is working and countries are coming together for a good cause 
.
. Trump's just trying to make a trade deal and we should support him on that 
. The whole thing is just too much drama, if you ask me...
. I MEAN, WHO DOES TRUMP THINK HE IS, TRYING TO BUY OVER A WHOLE TERRITORY LIKE GREENLAND? IT'S JUST NOT HOW IT WORKS 
. THE EU STANDING TOGETHER ON THIS ISSUES SHOWS THAT WE'RE STILL GOT SOME COMMON SENSE LEFT IN US 
.
. Trump's whole thing with Greenland feels like a huge ego trip 
. And can we talk about how ridiculous it would be for the US to try and take over another NATO country?
