US threats to seize Greenland drew a warning from France on Wednesday, after leader Donald Trump renewed claims that Washington should take control of the Arctic island for security reasons. President Emmanuel Macron warned that any move affecting Greenland’s sovereignty would bring “unprecedented” consequences.
“If the sovereignty of a European ally were affected, the cascading consequences would be unprecedented,” Macron told a cabinet meeting, according to government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon.
