Macron criticizes "ambitious" plan: opposes Trump's attempt to annex Greenland, calling it a "crazy" idea

According to Agence France-Presse, on the 16th, French President Macron arrived in Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, on the 15th, as a brief visit on his way to Canada to attend the G7 Summit. Radio France International stated that although Macron only stayed on Greenland for a few hours, the purpose of his trip was very clear, to support the sovereignty of the island and demonstrate European solidarity. Macron stated, "I have come to express France and the European Union's support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Greenland." Bloomberg reported that on the 15th, during a press conference in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, with Premier Kim Kielsen and Greenland's Prime Minister Nielsen, Macron said, "Greenland is facing the ambitions of those who covet it. Both France and the entire European Union believe that Greenland cannot be sold or taken away."
