\u201cThe security of the Arctic remains one of the European Union\u2019s key priorities, and we aim to work with allies and partners in this regard,\u201d the two EU leaders said in a joint statement posted on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They emphasized that territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law, calling them \u201cessential not only for the EU but for nations around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump on Sunday appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as U.S. envoy for Greenland, claiming Landry \u201cunderstands how important Greenland is to U.S. national security.\u201d In a post on social media, Landry said his mission would be to \u201cbring Greenland into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Denmark\u2019s Foreign Ministry responded Monday by summoning the U.S. ambassador for talks. Danish Foreign Minister Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen said the United States \u201ccannot interfere in Denmark\u2019s internal affairs\u201d and reminded that Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The dispute marks a new low in U.S.-Danish relations, coming one year after Trump, then president-elect, first suggested the U.S. should acquire the Arctic territory. The proposal has triggered ongoing diplomatic tensions and sparked anti-American protests in Greenland.<\/p>\n
