"European foreign ministers appeared divided over Donald Trump's plans for Greenland, during a joint press conference with India's FM Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. "Greenland is not for sale, Greenland is not for the taking. A long gone are the times when you could buy or sell Louisiana. And Denmark can count on the solidarity of European countries, the heads of state and government said in a shared statement yesterday,” Jean-Noel Barrot, Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, claimed. However, German FM Johann Wadephul said: "It is clear that it falls to Greenlanders to determine their own fate, as well as to the Kingdom of Denmark. Of course, in keeping with the principles of the UN charter, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of borders. And all of these aspects of the article need to be discussed within the NATO Council, and I am pleased that our counterpart, Marco Rubio, announced his wish to discuss this with the Danish government." The meeting also addressed NATO’s future - after Trump also suggested the alliance 'won't be there for us', meaning the US. “We have started thinking about how we might defend our interests if our interests came to be threatened, said Barrot. However, Wadephul called it “the most important military alliance in the world.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out the US taking Greenland by force - but said buying the territory was also under discussion - during her briefing in DC on Wednesday. Donald Trump has repeatedly said he 'needs' Greenland for national security reasons. A joint statement from the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK and Denmark hit back at Trump on Tuesday, saying that 'it is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland'. The gathering also marked India’s first participation in the Weimar Triangle, a diplomatic grouping comprising France, Germany, and Poland. Jaishankar described the relationship with Europe as “poised to grow” and said it offered opportunities to advance global stability. “So there's really a very substantive relationship. Much more can be done,” he said, adding that the world today needed a fresh global order."
