Europe has no interest in getting into a “fight” with the United States over President Donald Trump’s ambitions to annex Greenland, but the bloc “will maintain its position”, according to the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas.
“We have no interest in provoking a confrontation, but we will maintain our position. Europe has a set of instruments to protect its interests,” Kallas said in a post on social media on Monday (19).
The US purchase of Greenland “is not the right way to go about this,” Kallas said.
“,” she said. “Security in the Arctic is a shared transatlantic interest, and an issue we can discuss with our allies in the United States.”
