German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned that every country must honor the sanctity of borders no matter how powerful or where they are, indirectly responding to President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. should take over Greenland and the Panama Canal.
“The principle of the inviolability of borders applies to every country, regardless of whether it’s to the east or the west of us,” Scholz said on Wednesday after speaking with several European leaders and the president of the European Council.
