"The Spanish and Greek prime ministers spoke out in support of European unity over territorial integrity and Arctic security provisions, during a press conference in Madrid on Monday. This follows the recent US statements by US President Donald Trump regarding his desire to take Greenland "one way or the other." "Europe must be at the forefront of defending independence and territory of all its member states," said Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, noting that "the future of Greenland affects both Greenland and Denmark." He urged actions to address Arctic security without violating international law, suggesting mutually beneficial solutions for both sides of the Atlantic. "I believe that the European Union will be united in this matter," Mitsotakis continued, adding that "in the end logic will prevail." Sanchez echoed this sentiment, referring to recent coordinated European positions. "Last week different countries of the European Union issued a joint statement," he said, noting that Europe had conveyed its willingness to work with Washington if the US administration had concerns about Arctic security. From both EU and NATO perspectives, he stressed that together "we can provide greater security to ensure safety in the Arctic." The comments come as the White House has said it is considering buying Greenland, including the use of force, an idea Denmark has repeatedly rejected, warning it would undermine transatlantic defence agreements allowing US troop deployments. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to hold talks with Denmark on Wednesday. The renewed focus on Greenland coincides with increased interest in global shipping routes as well as rare earth minerals, access to which is improving as ice melts due to climate change. On Venezuela, Mitsotakis called for reduced tension and a transition to a normalised democratic government. Meanwhile, Sanchez detailed conversations with Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodriguez and opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez, who lives in Spain as a refugee. "What I conveyed to the interim president of Venezuela is the need to continue releasing political prisoners," Sanchez stated, expressing willingness to work with both sides for a peaceful democratic transition. "Ultimately, if anyone has to decide the future of Venezuela, it is the Venezuelan people themselves." This comes after the US launched an attack on Venezuelan military installations on January 3, seizing former president Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores on 'narco-terrorism' and weapons charges."
