1:19Now PlayingEuropean leaders argued for Greenland’s sovereignty this past Tuesday amid President Trump’s continued threat to take over the island following his military operation in Venezuela.
Greenland is an autonomous territory in Denmark. Citizens of Greenland are also citizens of Denmark and the European Union. In a joint statement released Tuesday, more than half a dozen European leaders wrote that “Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.”
The leaders asserted that security in the Arctic region must be “achieved collectively”—which includes NATO allies like the United States—by upholding the UN Charter that establishes “sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders.”
Since the US captured Maduro, Trump has threatened Colombia, Mexico, Greenland, Iran, and Cuba.
