European Council President Antonio Costa announced today that after consultations with European Union (EU) member states regarding tensions over Greenland, it was confirmed that the EU is "strictly committed" to unity in the principles of international law of territorial integrity and national sovereignty, and that the EU is united in support and solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.
The statement added that the EU is also committed to "recognizing the common transatlantic interest in peace and security in the Arctic, in particular working through NATO," but Brussels is also ready to defend itself "against any form of coercion."
Košta also added that the consultations also noted "readiness for further cooperation with the US on all issues of common interest", but also that "there is a common assessment that tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and are incompatible with the EU-US trade agreement".
