Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says the move is a “political signal.”
France will open its first consulate in Greenland Feb. 6, French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said in a radio interview Wednesday.
Barrot said the creation of a French diplomatic outpost in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, is a “political signal” as threats from Donald Trump to seize the Denmark-administered territory rattle European capitals.
French President Emmanuel Macron previously announced plans to open a consulate in Greenland when he visited Nuuk in June. Macron last week criticized Washington for having designs on Greenland in a major foreign policy speech.
I mean on Iran, not Greenland, with regard to China and Russia. Basically I just want to see these countries’ allies act.
Yeah, I got that but I don’t think he would notice the difference. If they do anything, he’ll somehow twist it into an argument. Doesn’t have to make sense for anyone but him, he’ll use any excuse to play with his military toys.
I fear that the only option to prevent WW3 is to finally remove him and his friends from power. No, I don’t know how to actually do that.
