One der Leyen-Costa: He will unite will unite their very own sovereignty
“We have consistently underlined our common transatlantic interest in peace and security in the Arctic, including through NATO. The pre-coordinated Danish exercise, conducted with allies, responds to the need to strengthen security in the Arctic and does not pose a threat to anyone. The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland. Dialogue remains essential and we are committed to continuing the process started already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States. Customs duties would compromise transatlantic relations and would risk triggering a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated and committed to defending its sovereignty.” This is what we learn within the joint assertion by President von der Leyen and President Antonio Costa
Helsinki: «US tariffs are dangerous to transatlantic relations»
“Finland takes it for granted that problems between allies are resolved through discussion and common rules of the game, not by creating pressure. Strengthening Arctic security together with our allies is important for Finland. This is also the goal of the activities led by Denmark and coordinated by allies in Greenland.” Finnish President Alexander Stubb writes this on X. “European countries are united. We underline the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. We support Denmark and Greenland – adds Stubb -. The dialogue with the United States continues. Tariffs would be harmful to transatlantic relations and could trigger a vicious circle”.
