PARIS/COPENHAGEN: French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday pledged his support for Greenland, saying the Arctic island was not for sale, and not to be taken over amid threats from US President Donald Trump to do just that.
Macron said Greenland was threatened by “predatory ambition,” and its situation should be a wakeup call for all Europeans. Greenland is a self-governing part of Denmark with the right to declare independence.
Macron is the first foreign head of state to visit the vast territory -- at the crossroads of the Atlantic and the Arctic -- since Trump´s annexation threats.
