French President Emmanuel Macron has landed in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by Trump, carrying a 'message of solidarity and friendship' from France and the European Union.

French President Emmanuel Macron touched down in Greenland on Sunday, for an official visit designed to bolster European support for the Danish territory, which is still batting away advances from the Trump administration.

The Pentagon announced today that it would move responsibility for Greenland to under US Northern Command, a shift that comes amid international concern over the Trump administration’s designs on the Arctic islands.

President Emmanuel Macron said France would be available to conduct joint exercises to improve security in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by US President Donald Trump.
