Germany and France have strongly criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments about potentially using force to take control of Greenland. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot have both emphasized that the European Union will not tolerate any violations of sovereign borders.

Trump has previously expressed interest in acquiring Greenland due to its strategic location and military value. However, both Denmark and Greenland have firmly rejected the idea. Greenland's leaders continue to advocate for self-determination and independence, reaffirming the island's sovereignty.

Trump's remarks have heightened tensions and highlighted the broader geopolitical and strategic interests surrounding Greenland. The island is home to valuable resources and holds significant military importance.
