This week at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, global leaders rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to buy Greenland. From Brussels to Paris, key voices highlighted that sovereignty isn't up for negotiation. 🌍❄️
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday that the European Union stands in full solidarity with Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark, stressing that their territorial integrity is non-negotiable.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told the European Parliament that "Greenland belongs to its people. No threat or tariffs will change that. Sovereignty is not for trade."
French President Emmanuel Macron urged the EU to use its new anti-coercion mechanism against U.S. tariff threats, calling the approach "fundamentally unacceptable" and warning that it weakens multilateral governance.
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever even said he'd personally warn President Trump that he's crossed the red line between being a "happy vassal" and a "miserable slave."
As the debate heats up, one thing is clear: when it comes to Greenland, sovereignty wins. 👊✨
