"We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable."
"For my party and for myself, our view on this is that it is one of the last tools in the toolbox that you should take up."
"I will be honest and say yes, if that should happen, then a boycott discussion is very, very relevant. It's likely to happen if it develops into a real conflict. I sincerely hope that it will not come to this."
Relations between Europe and the United States are strained, prompting discussions about a Europe-led boycott of the 2026 World Cup. Concerns focus on the Trump administration's actions and rhetoric regarding Greenland, including a remark about using "excessive strength and force" followed by a denial of intent to annex. European governments and football associations are urged to prepare for all eventualities despite diplomatic efforts. Denmark's MP Mogens Jensen says a boycott is not currently being pursued, describing it as a last-resort option that would become relevant if a real conflict or invasion occurred.
