Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron announced today, Thursday, that his country will send additional land, air, and sea assets to Greenland, stating that Europeans must be present wherever their interests are threatened. In a speech to the armed forces at the airbase in Istres, Macron mentioned that France has deployed an initial military team to Greenland as part of a European military mission, and that it will send additional land, air, and sea assets there within days.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Macron emphasized that France and Europeans must maintain a presence wherever their interests are threatened, without escalation, but with complete firmness regarding respect for territorial sovereignty. He stressed that it is France's role to stand by a sovereign state and protect its territory.

Washington's NATO allies continue to escalate their rhetoric against US President Donald Trump and are rallying to protect Greenland following repeated US statements about the need to annex it.
