Macron convenes Defense Council meeting on Greenland and Iran

Paris, Jan 15 (Prensa Latina) French President Emmanuel Macron chaired a Defense Council meeting on Thursday to analyze the situation in Greenland in light of US attempts to seize the island and the ongoing political crisis in Iran.

The emergency meeting was held this morning. According to press reports, no details of the issues discussed or any potential decisions have been released.

France has rejected in the last few days the proposals made by US President Donald Trump, who argued Washington’s vital need to control Greenland by any means, despite its belonging to Denmark, another NATO member country.

Paris confirmed its participation, as of this Thursday, in a European military mission announced by Germany on the vast island, to reaffirm its support for Copenhagen in the face of US pressure.

Regarding Iran, France accused the Iranian government of violently repressing protesters and summoned its ambassador in Paris, while Tehran denounced a destabilization attempt and a regime change orchestrated by the West.
