Canada’s ambassador to France says he’s against U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to take over Greenland, saying “in order to respect international law, you don’t threaten your neighbours by invasion.”
Stéphane Dion, who is also the special envoy to Europe and the European Union, says threatening a country’s sovereignty is not “normal”. Trump is also continuing to push for Canada to become America’s 51st state.
“You know that according to international law it’s not only to invade a neighbour that’s against international law in the charter of the UN, it is to threaten,” he said. “So we’re against that.”
