The authorities in Paris do not rule out that after Greenland, the US will try to acquire French territories, writes the newspaper Le Figaro, citing an unnamed minister.
The source called the threat real, noting that what is happening in Greenland could also happen in France. According to him, in the future the US may lay claims to New Caledonia or the overseas territories of the republic. "This could happen to us," the minister expressed his concern.
The newspaper also believes that such a scenario could become a reality.
Le Figaro recalls that Washington imposed a 99% tariff on all goods from the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which belong to France.
Earlier, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that the United States would not seize Greenland. In turn, US President Donald Trump noted that he was 100 percent confident in the success of his initiative to annex the island. At the same time, Greenland said that the island's residents should not be afraid of the sharp statements of the US president.
