The French presidential palace released news today that French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Mertz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, Polish Prime Minister Tusk, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, British Prime Minister Stammer, and Danish Prime Minister Fraser Rickson issued a joint statement on Greenland. The statement said that Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and is critical to international security and transatlantic security. NATO has made it clear that the Arctic region is its priority area of concern, and European allies are increasing their investment. Along with many other allies, NATO has increased its presence, activities, and investment in the Arctic region to maintain the security of the Arctic region and deter rivals. The Kingdom of Denmark — including Greenland — is part of NATO. Therefore, the security of the Arctic region must be achieved within the framework of NATO, with allies including the United States, and based on maintaining the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including sovereignty, territorial integrity, and inviolability of borders. These are generally applicable principles, and we will continue to defend them with determination. The United States is an indispensable partner in this effort. It is both a NATO ally and plays an important role through the 1951 defense agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States. Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland. Matters relating to Denmark and Greenland are solely at the sole discretion of Denmark and Greenland. The US Special Envoy to Greenland said that US President Trump supports Greenland's independence.
