      ***The Telegraph reports:***

      France warned Donald Trump against threatening the EU’s “sovereign borders” after he refused to rule out using military force to take over Greenland.

      Responding to the president-elect’s remarks, Jean-Noel Barrot, the French foreign minister, said that while he did not believe the US would invade the Danish-controlled territory, the EU should not allow itself to be intimidated.

      He told France Inter radio: “There is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are. We are a strong continent.”

      Mr Trump said on Tuesday that Greenland should be sold to the US for “national security”.

      He also called for the Panama Canal to be returned to America.

      Mr Barrot continued: “If you’re asking me whether I think the United States will invade Greenland, my answer is no. But have we entered into a period of time when it is survival of the fittest? Then my answer is yes.”

      Greenland’s leader will meet the Danish king in Copenhagen on Wednesday in the wake of Mr Trump’s threats.

      Mute Egede, Greenland’s prime minsiter, who arrived in Copenhagen late on Tuesday, had announced before his trip that a meeting with Denmark’s King Frederik scheduled for Wednesday had been postponed. 

      However, on Wednesday the Danish royal court said the meeting would take place.

      How much does it cost to buy a Canadian and a Greenlander?

      Jokes apart, personally, I find it highly unlikely; however, Trump’s unpredictability is scary

      The EU tolerated a Russian takeover of Crimea. I don’t think the EU understands how it’s all bark.

      NATO I pretty much dead with Trump. We will be returning to 18 hundreds style world order. The US will loss it’s position as western hegemon and the EU will move closer together independently of the US.

      Edit: Not 18 hundreds in the sense, that Europe will dominate. But that great powers can do whatever they want. Also major nuclear proliferation is incoming.

      This is essentially an aggressive negotiating tactic

      The remarks on Canada seem to be little more than an effort to irritate the Canadian government and to make them agree to his terms regarding trade.

      The Panama remarks are likewise a forcible attempt to get Panama to disassociate with China.

      While I doubt invading Greenland in seriously on the cards, Trump does seem very keen on acquiring the island from Denmark. Its valuable real estate that he wants, he’s doing what he can to get the other guy to sell, Trump’s a real estate developer in mindset and he is using said mindset especially heavily when it comes to Greenland.
