MADRID Jan. 8 () –

The Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, has stated that “obviously” the proposal of the president-elect, Donald Trump, regarding a hypothetical military intervention in Greenland “is not good” but with the same certainty he wanted to make it clear that “it is not is going to happen.”

A day after the Republican magnate publicly raised the possibility of imposing economic or military measures to take control of the Panama Canal or Greenland, the current head of North American diplomacy has urged from Paris to “not waste much time” talking of a hypothesis that he sees as improbable.

In this sense, the Secretary of State recalled that the outgoing Administration has worked with the thesis that the United States “is stronger and obtains better results when it works with its allies”, instead of “saying or doing things that could separate them.” . Denmark, the country to which Greenland belongs, is part of NATO along with the United States.

The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, has also assumed in this same appearance that there will be no US “invasion” of Greenland, hours after warning in an interview that the island is part of the European Union and not There is no violation of “sovereign borders.”

However, the head of French diplomacy has warned that the world is entering a new stage in which “force is present everywhere”, which is why he has urged the EU to “wake up” to face to any potential challenge.
