German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sent a warning to President-elect Trump over border rules as the incoming president continues his threat of taking over Greenland.
Scholz said Wednesday that he spoke with several European leaders and the president of the European Council. During that discussion, the chancellor noted a “certain incomprehension” was shared regarding “current comments from the U.S.,” The Associated Press reported.
He did not call out Trump by name, however, according to the AP.
The president-elect has been openly vocal about acquiring Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark. Trump also refused to commit to not using the U.S. military to regain control of the Panama Canal.
Scholz said it was a long-standing principle that “borders must not be moved by force.”
“The principle of the inviolability of borders applies to every country, regardless of whether it lies to the east of us or the west, and every state must keep to it, regardless of whether it is a small country or a very powerful state,” he said.
Scholz added that respecting borders is a “fundamental principle of international law” and part of Western values.
