Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says the move is a “political signal.”
France will open its first consulate in Greenland Feb. 6, French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said in a radio interview Wednesday.
Barrot said the creation of a French diplomatic outpost in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, is a “political signal” as threats from Donald Trump to seize the Denmark-administered territory rattle European capitals.
French President Emmanuel Macron previously announced plans to open a consulate in Greenland when he visited Nuuk in June. Macron last week criticized Washington for having designs on Greenland in a major foreign policy speech.
I love seeing all the movement from Europe regarding Greenland.
I hope we’ll see similar movements from China and Russia on Iran, because as much as Donald’s demented brain might think he’s all-powerful, his underlings can probably make the connection that a 2AM kidnapping is a fair bit different than the prospect of fighting an insurgency and destroying our European alliances.
Stand up to our dumbass president, please.
The problem is, if China and Russia make a move, that only confirms Trump’s delusion that he must take Greenland before they do.
I mean on Iran, not Greenland, with regard to China and Russia. Basically I just want to see these countries’ allies act.
Yeah, I got that but I don’t think he would notice the difference. If they do anything, he’ll somehow twist it into an argument. Doesn’t have to make sense for anyone but him, he’ll use any excuse to play with his military toys.
I fear that the only option to prevent WW3 is to finally remove him and his friends from power. No, I don’t know how to actually do that.
But when is the invasion? I don’t like the uncertainty
