Summary
Donald Trump shared private messages he received from Emmanuel Macron, the French president. In the messages, Macron questioned Trump's actions regarding Greenland and proposed hosting an emergency G7 meeting in Paris. Trump rejected the invitation to the meeting.
Macron responded by saying Europe would not be intimidated or give in to bullies. He described the situation as a strategic wake-up call for Europe and accused the United States of trying to subordinate Europe. France announced it would open a consulate in Greenland as a political signal.
The United States has threatened tariffs, including a 200% tariff on French wines, over the Greenland issue. France stated it is working with allies on a plan in case the United States makes a move on Greenland.
