Russia's Lavrov Comments on Greenland Amid US Interest and Transatlantic Tensions

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Greenland is not a natural part of Denmark or Norway but a colonial territory, emphasizing that Russia has no plans to interfere or seize the island. His remarks came amid heightened tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed interest in acquiring Greenland for national security and imposed tariffs on European allies opposing the move. European leaders have criticized the U.S. actions, warning of potential trade retaliation, while Russia highlighted broader geopolitical shifts and NATO tensions.
