Macron Questions U.S. Greenland Policy in Message to Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron has conveyed his concerns over the United States' approach to Greenland in a private message to President Donald Trump. Macron's message, which Trump shared publicly, included an offer to host a G7 meeting in Paris to address the issue.

"I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland," Macron stated in the message, expressing his confusion over U.S. intentions regarding the territory.

Macron also proposed organizing a G7 meeting in Paris on Thursday afternoon, following the Davos summit, and suggested inviting leaders from Ukraine, Denmark, Syria, and Russia to participate on the margins. Additionally, he invited Trump to a dinner in Paris before his return to the United States.

The French government confirmed the authenticity of the message. This exchange comes amid heightened tensions over Greenland, with European leaders expressing concern over U.S. interest in the territory. Macron's outreach appears to be an effort to engage in dialogue and address the issue through diplomatic channels.

The situation has prompted discussions among European Union leaders, who are considering countermeasures in response to U.S. actions concerning Greenland. Macron's initiative to host a G7 meeting aims to foster collaboration and find a resolution to the growing tensions over the Arctic territory.
