European leaders from Denmark, Sweden and Germany voiced strong criticism of the“Threatening remarks” made by the United States against Greenland, the self-governing territory of Denmark.
Danish parliament chairman of the Defense Committee Rasmus Yareu 11, said in an interview, if the military conflict over Greenland, it will be“The most stupid war in history.”. In the interview, Arrowwood criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s talk of seizing Greenland, calling it“The most illegitimate land claim in modern history.”.
Swedish Prime Minister Kristsson said at the Annual Security Conference on the 11th that Sweden is highly critical of what the United States is doing on the Venezuelan issue and its related actions at the level of international law, sweden is likely to be even more critical of its comments about Greenland and Denmark. Christerson stresses that the rules-based world order is facing its most serious threat in decades. Rather than fanning the flames over Greenland, the United States should be grateful to Denmark, a longtime ally.
German deputy chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbauer said on the 11th that the United States should respect international law and territorial sovereignty, and the future of Greenland is not decided by the United States. Klinenberger left for Washington the same day to attend a meeting of G7 Finance Ministers said that the decision on the future of Greenland“Is entirely a matter of Denmark and Greenland.”. He stressed that the principles of international law such as respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity applied to all states, “Including the United States”. Klinenberger also said that as NATO allies, the parties should be“Working together to strengthen security in the Arctic, not against each other.”.
Greenland is a self-governing Danish territory with a high degree of self-government, with defence and foreign affairs under the Danish government. Since taking office in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to seize Greenland, saying he has not ruled out the use of force. In a phone interview with the Atlantic Sunday, Trump said Venezuela may not be the last country for the US to intervene, adding that the US“Absolutely needs Greenland”. Denmark and other European countries strongly opposed the move. Danish prime minister Frederiksen warned that if the U. S. takes military action against NATO allies, “Everything will end.”.
