An EPP member of the European Parliament sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's recent push to plant the American flag in Greenland during the January 20 plenary session in Strasbourg, calling it "a shock" and "unacceptable." The speaker defended Denmark's territorial integrity, warning that meddling with Greenland threatens NATO unity, especially after EP President Roberta Metsola opened the session affirming EU support for Denmark and Greenland's sovereignty.Noting a split in the Patriots group—half stood in support while others sided with Washington—the MEP challenged MAGA allies to choose between Europe and U.S. influence. Trump has escalated rhetoric, posting mock images of U.S. control and threatening tariffs on EU nations unless Greenland is acquired for security and minerals, prompting EU outrage and defiance.The speech highlighted Russia's opportunism, citing Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's January 20 press conference remark that the U.S. could take Greenland while Russia claims Ukraine, underscoring doubts about Washington's reliability. The EPP vowed no zero-tariff U.S. access or ratification of deals like the summer 2025 Scotland agreement without guarantees, while urging approval of MERCOSUR to counter Putin, Xi, and Trump.This intervention signals deepening EU-U.S. tensions, Viktor Orbán's veto power weakening collective defense, and calls for a true EU defense union amid Arctic strategic shifts. Social media buzz reflects global reactions, from NATO fears to pro-Trump sentiment in Greenland.
