PARIS, Jan ‌7 (Reuters) – France is working ‌with partners on a ‌plan over how to respond should the United States act ‍on its threat ‍to take over ‌Greenland, Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel ‍Barrot ​said on Wednesday.

Barrot said the ⁠subject would be raised at his ‌meeting with the foreign ministers ⁠of Germany ‍and Poland later in the day.

The White House ‍said on Tuesday ‌that President Donald is discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military, in a revival of his ‌ambition to control the strategic island despite European objections.
