European countries on Monday gave their support to Denmark after U.S. President Donald Trump once again asserted that the United States needs Greenland, which is currently ruled by Denmark.

On his social media platform on Monday, Finnish President Alexander Stubb expressed his country's full support for Greenland and Denmark, stating that "No one decides for Greenland and Denmark but Greenland and Denmark themselves. Our Nordic friend Denmark has our full support."

Also on Monday, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said on social media that "Greenland is an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway stands in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Denmark."

When asked about France's reaction, Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux said in an interview on Monday that Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland and Denmark, and it is up to them to determine their own future.

Trump said in a telephone interview on Sunday with The Atlantic that the United States "absolutely" needs Greenland. In response, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement that the United States has no right to annex Greenland, urging Washington to stop making threats against a close ally and the Greenlandic people.

Last month, Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the U.S. special envoy to Greenland, renewing diplomatic tension between Washington and Denmark.

Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in gaining control of Greenland, saying that he would not rule out the use of "military or economic coercion" to achieve that goal.
