EU won't tolerate attacks on its borders, French foreign minister says after Trump's Greenland comments

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has openly suggested that he may consider military intervention regarding the Panama Canal and Greenland Waterway, areas critical for U.S. defense. This rhetoric raises alarms among European leaders, particularly those in the European Union.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot emphasized the integrity of the European Union, noting, "There is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are ... We are a strong continent." Such statements underscore the EU's commitment to defending its territorial integrity against external threats.
