Paris: France said on Wednesday it is working with allies in response to the United States' threat to take over Greenland, as ⁠Europe sought to address the ambitions of US President Donald Trump in the region.

A US military move to seize Greenland from Denmark, a longtime ally, would jolt the NATO alliance and further strain relations between Trump ‌and European ‌leaders.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the issue would be discussed later in the day with his German and Polish counterparts. "We want to take action, but we want to do so together with our European partners," he said on France Inter radio.

Leaders from major European countries and Canada have also voiced strong support for Greenland, stressing that the Arctic territory belongs to its people. Their statements came after Trump renewed his push to assert US control over the island, according to a report by Reuters.
