Summary

France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, warned Donald Trump against threatening EU sovereign borders after Trump suggested potential military action to control Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

Barrot dismissed such actions as unacceptable and noted the return of “the law of the strongest.”

Trump previously called Greenland essential to U.S. economic security, though Denmark and Greenland’s leaders firmly rejected any sale.

Trump Jr.’s brief visit to Nuuk further escalated tensions.

    The hilarious part is that the only adversary we have that would make Greenland relevant to national defense is Russia.

    The way the news media broadcasts this shit is embarrassing. I wouldn’t mind if they made it a headline, but it should be tempered with good journalism. Maybe ask why Greenland would be important to our defense? Or maybe who came up with the idea and how they are qualified to make such statements.
