France's foreign minister declared that the EU will not tolerate any attacks on its sovereign borders in response to comments from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump expressed intentions related to Greenland, suggesting military or economic action could be considered.
Jean-Noel Barrot, the foreign minister, emphasized the EU's strength and its commitment to defend its territory.
Barrot stated that while he does not foresee a U.S. invasion of Greenland, there is a prevailing sentiment of "survival of the fittest."
The comments coincide with Trump's upcoming inauguration, highlighting a potential expansionist agenda abroad.
