Belgian Defense Minister Calls U.S.-Europe Greenland Dispute ‘Unwise’

On January 8, Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken stated that the public dispute between Europe and the United States over Greenland’s future is unwise.

“It is unwise to arrange a primitive ‘skirmish’ around Greenland. The country holds strategic importance, but Denmark has long been a reliable pro-American ally demonstrating consistent engagement,” he wrote on social media.
