Demonstrators in Denmark and Greenland took to the streets on Saturday, voicing their opposition to former President Trump’s demands, insisting the territory should decide its own fate.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized the United States’ threats to impose new tariffs on European nations due to their resistance to Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland, labeling the move as “completely wrong.”
In a show of support, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa conveyed, via synchronized posts on X, that the European Union was in “full solidarity” with both Denmark and Greenland’s citizens.
Prime Minister Starmer further condemned the imposition of tariffs on nations for “pursuing the collective security of NATO allies,” reinforcing his stance that such actions are “completely wrong.”
Von der Leyen and Costa warned that tariffs could harm transatlantic relations, potentially leading to a perilous downturn. They affirmed that Europe would remain united, coordinated, and dedicated to protecting its sovereignty.
“Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty,” they said.
