EU stands in solidarity with Denmark over sovereignty, spokesperson says

BRUSSELS, July 8 — The European Commission on Wednesday reiterated its support for Denmark on the issue of Greenland, after U.S. President Donald Trump once again said Greenland should be controlled by the U.S. during the NATO summit.

“Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Decisions about the future of Greenland are for Greenlanders and Danes to decide,” European Commission Deputy Chief Spokesperson Olof Gill said at a daily press briefing in Brussels.
