Spain Supports Denmark, Greenland Sovereignty
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez issued a forceful statement defending territorial sovereignty as US President Donald Trump designated Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to spearhead American interests in the resource-rich region.
"Respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity is central to the EU and to all nations of the world. Security in the Arctic is a priority on which we seek to work with allies and partners. We convey our full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland," Sanchez declared on X, the US social media platform.
The appointment escalates Washington's pursuit of the autonomous Danish territory, which has repeatedly dismissed American overtures. Trump announced Landry's role via his Truth Social platform, asserting the Louisiana governor understands "how essential Greenland is" for US national security and will aggressively pursue American objectives to protect allies and global stability.
The Arctic island's strategic position and abundant mineral deposits have made it a focal point of US geopolitical ambitions. Trump has previously characterized acquiring Greenland as an "absolute necessity" for US economic security, comparing the potential transaction to a "large real estate deal."
Both Copenhagen and Nuuk have categorically refused any sale discussions, firmly reasserting Danish sovereignty over the territory.
