Scholz warns: Trump endangers borders and European security!

The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot recently emphasized the need that Europe strengthens its military capacities. In this context, he expressed his trust that the United States did not intend to intervene in Greenland, despite Donald Trump's previous statements, who had expressed interest in Greenland and did not rule out military measures to control the Panama Canal or Greenland. These statements have caused a broad lack of understanding in the European Union.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that there is certain lack of understanding among the European partners about the statements from the United States. He emphasized the inviolability of the borders for every country and the importance of western values. In addition, Scholz emphasized NATO as a central security pillar and demanded determined and prudent action in view of the tense security situation in Europe. A common threat analysis should determine the necessary military efforts in the future.

reactions to Trump's statements

In view of Trump's claim to NATO member states, increasing their defense spending to five percent of gross domestic product (GDP) instead of the aim of two percent, the French government of Trump has sentenced Trump's project as "a form of imperialism". Scholz also warned of violent border shifts and demanded European unity. The European Commission rejected Trump's statements about Greenland as hypothetically. The possibility of an appropriation of Canada and the Panama Canal was also discussed by Trump.
