OSLO, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas on Tuesday reiterated the EU's support for Greenland and Denmark amid uncertainty.
Addressing the Arctic Frontiers conference 2026 in Tromso, Norway, Kallas said that although tensions in Greenland are lower than they were a few weeks ago, there is still little clarity about what comes next or when the next dispute may arise.
"I will reiterate what I said, that the European Union stands with Greenland. We stand with our member state Denmark and we stand by the UN Charter," said Kallas, adding that the future of Greenland is for the Greenlanders and Denmark to decide.
Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt also reaffirmed at the conference that Greenland is not for sale. "The red line has been very clear from our side," she said.
Greenland stands with the Kingdom of Denmark and will defend the right to self-determination and territorial integrity, she added.
Since returning to the White House in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to "obtain" Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, sparking strong opposition across Europe. ■
