Macron, on Greenland visit, berates Trump for threats against the territory

French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday criticised US President Donald Trump's threats to annex Greenland, as he made a visit to the Danish autonomous territory. 'That's not what allies do,' Macron said as he arrived in Nuuk, Greenland's capital. 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 Trump, since returning to the White House in January, has repeatedly said America needs the strategically located, resource-rich island for security reasons and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it. Denmark has also repeatedly stressed that Greenland 'is not for sale'. Macron said his visit was aimed at conveying 'France's and the European Union's solidarity' for 'the sovereignty and territorial integrity' of Greenland.
