“I am pleased that the tariff plans have been withdrawn, the dialogue between allies is ongoing and the importance of the transatlantic relationship is clear to all. We will work together with allies and partners within the frameworks of the European Union and NATO to ensure the security of the Arctic,” said Prime Minister Kristen Michal.
“The events of the last few days have clearly shown that there are lines that cannot be crossed. These are national borders and sovereignty. They are not for sale in Greenland, Denmark or Ukraine,” he continued.
The prime minister added that Europe must be ready to take steps to defend its values and interests if pressured. In addition, Europe must do more to develop global trade relations and implement new trade agreements. It is important to continue to bolster Europe's defence capabilities. We also need to work more closely with countries that share our values, such as the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada and others.
“In terms of Ukraine, we need to maintain our focus by continuing to stand united and firm in our support for Ukraine and keeping the pressure on Russia, including by restricting the shadow fleet and strengthening sanctions,” Michal said.
