German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized the principle of the inviolability of borders in response to recent expansionist comments made by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Scholz stated that this principle applies universally, regardless of a country's size or power.
Trump's remarks about potentially using military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, both of strategic importance, have raised concerns among European leaders. Scholz expressed incomprehension regarding these comments during discussions with European counterparts.
