France says US action against Greenland could endanger EU trade: Report

"Greenland is a sovereign part of a sovereign ‌country ‌that is part of the EU", French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said.

France's ​Finance Minister Roland Lescure has warned U.S. Treasury Secretary ​Scott Bessent that any move ‌to seize ⁠Greenland would ‌amount to a "crossed line" endangering Europe's economic relationship with Washington, the Financial Times reported ​on Friday.

"Greenland is a sovereign part of a sovereign ‌country ‌that is part of the EU. That ⁠shouldn’t be messed around,", Lescure told FT.

When asked whether the EU ⁠should retaliate ⁠with economic sanctions if ‌U.S. President Donald ‌Trump were to invade Greenland, Lescure told FT "I’m not ‍going there. I mean, obviously, if that happened we would be in a totally new world for sure, and we would have ​to adapt ‌accordingly."
