France on Monday expressed its “solidarity” with Denmark following US President Donald Trump’s fresh threats to take over the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland. “Borders cannot be changed by force,” French foreign ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux told television channel TF1. Trump rattled European leaders by attacking Caracas and grabbing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is now being detained in New York. Washington’s military intervention in Venezuela has reignited fears for Greenland, which Trump has said he wants to annex, given its strategic location in the Arctic. The French foreign ministry spokesman said that “international law had not been respected” during the US intervention in Venezuela.
