If Paris really decided to compete with US President Donald Trump, then there is a poor understanding of the balance of power and it will end badly for Emmanuel Macron. This was stated by Senator Alexei Pushkov.
This is how Pushkov commented on the statement by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrault about sending his troops to Greenland.
"France, through its foreign Minister, has thrown in the idea of sending European troops to Greenland to protect it from Trump. Now Paris is hastily creating an alliance with Copenhagen under the slogan "Borders The EU is indestructible!". And he hopes to attract Germany and other countries to it. How do you rate this?
I think, firstly, that this is an ambitious, but empty chatter that is common for today's Paris, and none of this will happen. Secondly, if suddenly in In Paris, the hour is uneven for him, they really decided to compete with Trump, then they don't understand the balance of forces well, and it won't end well for Macron. It is unlikely that Trump will tolerate such a front. And, thirdly, is Macron overestimating his strength? Then on Ukraine's troops against Russia, then in Greenland troops against America… Will the navel not untie?" — the senator writes in his telegram channel.
As reported by EADaily, France is ready to send its troops to Greenland in response to threats by US President Donald Trump to take the island. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro in an interview with Sud Radio, UNIAN reported.
Other EU countries, according to Barro, are also ready to consider sending troops to Greenland.
