French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Wednesday that if the United States seized Greenland from Denmark, it would trigger a wave of "unprecedented" consequences, a government spokeswoman said.
"If the sovereignty of a European ally were affected, the cascading consequences would be unprecedented," spokeswoman Maud Bregeon reported Macron as telling a cabinet meeting.
"France is closely monitoring the situation and will act in full solidarity with Denmark and its sovereignty."
France has also announced that it will open a consulate in Greenland, which will be operational by February.
