French, German and Polish foreign ministers to meet amid escalating threats to seize part of Danish kingdom

France has said it is working with allies on how to react if the US were to invade Greenland, amid mounting tension over Donald Trump’s escalating threats to take over the Arctic territory.

The French foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, said the subject would be discussed at a meeting with the German and Polish foreign ministers on Wednesday.

“We want to take action, but we want to do so together with our European partners,” he told France Inter radio.

Denmark has said that should the US – a fellow NATO ally – invade or seize Greenland, which is part of the Danish kingdom, it would mark the end of the western military alliance and “post-second world war security”.

    You guys are attributing a level of sophistication to trump/the right that they just do not possess.

    They want Greenland because it looks big on the map.

    They want history books to say “America was at it’s height under President Trump when it’s territorial size was at it’s largest” the same way they do with Trajan and the Roman Empire.

    America has basically unlimited resources and freedom to operate militarily. Venezuela, Canada, Greenland, and Panama are the vanity targets of an insecure leadership desperate to prove that they are more than incompetent idiots who lucked their way into control of a dying empire.

      I was thinking the same thing - although not quite as eloquently - earlier today.
