Trump's Greenland Bid Rejected as Ukraine Talks Begin

European leaders dismissed former U.S. President Donald Trump's idea of an American takeover of Greenland on Monday. The rejection came as key allies met in Paris to discuss security for Ukraine. The leaders stated the strategic, mineral-rich Arctic island "belongs to its people." They pushed back on Trump's comments ahead of talks with U.S. envoys and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The meeting at the Elysée palace focused on creating security guarantees for any future ceasefire in Russia's war against Ukraine. The goal is to build long-term defenses for Ukraine. The dual topics highlighted a busy diplomatic agenda for European officials, addressing both alliance solidarity and support for Ukraine.
