EU Expresses Full Solidarity with Denmark and Greenland

The European Union has expressed full solidarity with Denmark and Greenland following US President Donald Trump's statement that Greenland should be under US control.EU Commission spokesperson Olof Gill stated that Greenland is an autonomous territory within Denmark and that decisions regarding its future should be made by the people of Greenland and Denmark. Gill emphasized that the fundamental principles of international law include territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and the inviolability of borders.The Greenland crisis escalated in January 2026 when Trump raised the issue of the island coming under US control. Denmark and Greenland's administration stressed that only the people of Greenland can decide on the island's future.During the process, the US's attempts to expand its military presence in Greenland and diplomatic contacts between the parties further deepened the debates. The Greenland administration repeatedly rejected US proposals, stating that the island is not for sale and will not bow to external pressure.
