U.S. allies warn Trump over threats to seize Greenland

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff were meeting with the Coalition of the Willing in Paris on security guarantees.

LONDON — Major European allies warned the United States on Tuesday that they would "not stop defending" the values of sovereignty and territorial integrity following President Donald Trump's threats against the Danish island of Greenland.

Trump and his team have ramped up hostile suggestions that they want to seize Greenland, a vast Artic island of just 50,000 people that has mineral and strategic significance.

The U.S. attack against Venezuela and capture of President Nicolás Maduro — which the United Nations said undermined international law — has raised fears that this might not be an empty threat.
