France offered to deploy troops to Greenland after Donald Trump repeatedly signaled he’d like to annex the Danish territory, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said.
Barrot said in an interview with Sud Radio that France had “started discussing” sending troops to Greenland, but it wasn’t “Denmark’s wish” to follow through with the idea.
Barrot added that during a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting on Monday that the other ministers were “were ready to consider” sending troops and expressed their “very strong support” for Denmark.
