Greenland and the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts

In a debate with foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, starting at around 13.00, MEPs will be discussing the latest developments regarding President Trump’s claims on Greenland. European governments have rejected US plans to acquire Greenland, warning that it would undermine sovereignty, NATO cohesion, and transatlantic security. They have also stated that decisions on Greenland’s status rest exclusively with Denmark and Greenland.
