French leader Emmanuel Macron has warned that US President Donald Trump will never be able to change the principled positions of official Paris on either Ukraine or Greenland. According to the head of the republic, intimidation and blackmail will not help either.
Points of attention

Macron made it clear that he is not afraid of Trump
The French leader reiterated once again that his country will always adhere to the principles of sovereignty and independence of states.
That is why we support and will continue to support Ukraine, have built a "coalition of the willing" to achieve a reliable and lasting peace, to protect these principles and our security. It is for this reason that we decided to join the exercises that Denmark decided to organize in Greenland...

President of France
According to the head of the republic, the current situation is about security in the Arctic and on the borders of Europe.
Macron made it clear to Trump: no intimidation or threats will influence France's decisions — neither on Ukraine, nor on Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.
Tariff threats in this context are unacceptable and inappropriate, the French leader emphasized.
Against this background, Macron warned the US president: Europe will respond in a united and coordinated manner if he does not abandon his encroachments on Greenland.
