EU Vs US War Over Greenland EXPLODES: Kaja Kallas CHALLENGES Trump to OCCUPY Greenland ‘No One Can.’

Kaja Kallas delivered a blunt warning to EU lawmakers, rejecting any challenge to Greenland’s sovereignty and linking Arctic security to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Speaking in the European Parliament, she stressed that no country has the right to seize another’s territory—“not in Ukraine, not in Greenland.”

00:00But let me be clear. Greenland belongs to its people. No threat or tariffs will change that. Sovereignty is not for trade.

00:13Saturday's remarks by President Trump create a situation we haven't experienced before.

00:20Our response must be to remain calm, hold our ground and act in unity.

00:26The leaders of Greenland and Denmark have been absolutely clear. The future of Greenland is for its people alone to decide.

00:36We have no interest in picking a fight, but we will hold our ground. Europe has a slate of tools to protect its interests.

00:45For years, Russia has been investing in military facilities in the high north, and China has been expanding their polar-capable vessels.

00:56Thank you, Mr. President.

01:03Honourable members, Greenland is strategically important. That is not the secret.

01:11Nearby are key submarine lanes, and beneath it are critical raw minerals that matter for the global economy.

01:19But let me be clear. Greenland belongs to its people. No threat or tariffs will change that.

01:30Sovereignty is not for trade.

01:36The European Union stands without doubt with Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark in defence of their territorial integrity and sovereignty.

01:47Saturday's remarks by President Trump create a situation we haven't experienced before.

01:55Our response must be to remain calm, hold our ground and act in unity.

02:01The EU is a close and reliable partner to Greenland.

02:06Our cooperation is delivering real results, especially in education, skills and sustainable development.

02:13The European Commission has also proposed to double our financial support for Greenland in the EU's next multi-year budget.

02:24The leaders of Greenland and Denmark have been absolutely clear.

02:28The future of Greenland is for its people alone to decide.

02:33The United States, Denmark and Greenland have been engaging in direct talks.

02:39That is what responsible allies do.

02:42They talk.

02:44But the tone of these talks matters, and threats made outside of them.

02:50Let me be abundantly clear.

02:53Tariff threats will not pressure Denmark into handing over Greenland.

02:58They only risk making both Europe and the United States poorer, and undermining our shared prosperity.

03:06We have no interest in picking a fight, but we will hold our ground.

03:13Europe has a slate of tools to protect its interests.

03:18Honourable members, the Arctic is a new frontier for the geostrategic competition.

03:24As Arctic ice melts, there is a growing risk that Russia and China will keep increasing their presence across the region.

03:34For years, Russia has been investing in military facilities in the high north,

03:39and China has been expanding their polar-capable vessels.

03:44But if there are concerns about Greenland's security, NATO is well-suited to address them.

03:52Over the past week, a number of European countries have sent military personnel for scoping mission to Greenland.

04:00This presence is aimed at keeping the region safe, predictable, and stable.

04:07It poses threat to no one.

04:10Because the defence and protection of Greenland is a common concern for Europe and the entire NATO alliance.

04:18Honourable members, current developments are indeed unsettling.

04:24But allow me to still widen the perspective beyond Greenland to the Arctic as a whole.

04:31I want to thank the European Parliament for your active engagement in Arctic affairs,

04:37including for the timely AFET-INI report adopted last November.

04:42Its conclusions echo our own assessment.

04:45The Arctic has become a region of growing geostrategic importance.

04:50Climate change is transforming the Arctic faster than any other place on the planet.

04:57Melting ice is opening new routes and economic opportunities, but also create new risks.

05:04Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has reshaped the European security landscape far beyond Ukraine itself.

05:11The Arctic is not insulated from this.

05:15Russia has disrupted cross-border and regional cooperation in the high north.

05:19And intensified hybrid activities while militarising parts of the region.

05:26The ship that cut the internet cables in the Baltic Sea in December 2024 escaped through the Russian Arctic waters.

05:34Geopolitical tension and geo-economic competition in the Arctic require that the European Union,

05:41together with our partners, responds.

05:44Our response must be realistic and principled, and it must be guided by the international law.

05:52No country has the right to take over the territory of another, not in Ukraine, not in Greenland, not anywhere in the world.

06:04We are strengthening preparedness to better anticipate risks, societal resilience by protecting critical infrastructure,

06:16communities, and democratic institutions from hybrid threats,

06:20and economic security by safeguarding supply chains and preventing strategic dependencies.

06:26We are currently updating our own EU-Arctic policy to reflect those realities.

06:34Security is not only about military presence.

06:37It's all about trust.

06:39It's about stability.

06:40It's about people.

06:42As we address these new challenges,

06:44we remain guided by the priorities expressed by Greenland authorities themselves,

06:51sustainable development, social cohesion, and respect for their environment.

06:57Honourable members,

06:59the Arctic is warming three to four times faster than the global average.

07:05Climate change, environmental degradation, and security risks do not stop at borders.

07:11No country can tackle the threat like this alone.

07:16A rules-based international order and effective multilateral cooperation are essential, not optional.

07:24When Europe is united, when we are strong,

07:28we are able to defend our interests and values, including in the High North.

07:33Our Arctic engagement must reflect this reality.

07:37Firm on geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges,

07:42resolute on climate action,

07:45and centred on the people who live in the region.

07:48In this effort, we stand by Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.
