"I welcome President Trump's remarks from last night," Merz said.
This is the right way to go, because any threats to acquire European territory by force would be unacceptable
If the US were to impose punitive tariffs over Greenland, "Europe's response would be united, calm, balanced, and firm," the chancellor warned.
"We must never forget one thing: a world where only force matters is a dangerous place," he said.
Addition
The day before, Donald Trump withdrew his threats of tariffs against European countries and ruled out seizing Greenland by force.
