Amid growing geopolitical tension, Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, emphasized the existence of non-negotiable boundaries regarding United States' interests in the Arctic region during a pivotal meeting in Paris alongside Denmark's leader.

This gathering, held with France's President Emmanuel Macron, aimed to consolidate European support while the U.S. administration exhibits intent to assert influence over Greenland, a territory long held by Denmark, amidst a more aggressively postured Russia.

With the potential disruption of transatlantic relations due to America's Arctic ambitions, European allies are rallying to strengthen bonds and decrease dependency on the U.S., particularly as challenges on NATO's cohesiveness emerge due to the evolving geopolitical landscape.
