As U.S. President-elect Donald Trump again expressed his intention to incorporate Danish Greenland into the United States, European countries such as Germany and France said they should respect the sovereignty of European territory.

Denmark has repeatedly denied that Greenland will become U.S. land, while also expressing a willingness to resolve the issue diplomatically.

As U.S. President-elect Trump expressed his intention to incorporate Greenland, Germany and France, the main pillars of the European Union, expressed concern.

German Chancellor Hollande Scholz said he discussed the issue with European leaders, saying the inviolability of borders is a fundamental principle of international law that applies to all countries.

French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barro also said the EU would not allow sovereign border violations and urged Europe to become stronger.

[Jean Noel Barro / French Foreign Minister: Are we in an era of survival of the fittest? That's right. But should we be afraid and worried? You can't do that.]

When the relevant question was asked at the briefing, the European Commission reaffirmed its principled position to cooperate with the next US government toward a common goal, emphasizing respect for sovereignty.

[Anita Heifer / EU Commission Spokesperson: We must respect the sovereignty of the state. These are the diplomatic values and core principles that we are working to protect.

Trump's remarks in question have raised controversy as they could be interpreted as an intention that he could also use force against NATO ally Denmark to take Greenland.

The Danish government dismissed Greenland's desire to become independent, but that it would never become U.S. land.

At the same time, Trump showed his willingness to resolve the diplomatic issue, saying he was willing to talk to the U.S. about security concerns he cited as the reason for buying Greenland.

[Mete Frederiksen / Danish Prime Minister: We must remain calm and abide by the principles. It has a very close partnership with the United States.

In the midst of this, Greenland's Prime Minister Egde has been busy with the movement of Greenland's political circles, including a quick visit to Denmark to prevent the king.

As President-elect Trump has stimulated Europe with remarks on territorial expansion even before taking office, Europe's concerns about how to deal with this are growing.
