The foreign ministers of France, Germany, and Poland are planning to visit Washington shortly after the inauguration of newly elected US President Donald Trump, scheduled for January 20.
According to Politico, three European Union diplomats confirmed preparations for the visit but requested anonymity. One of them noted that the main purpose of the visit is to emphasize European unity.
At present, the date of the visit is still being finalized, and plans remain under discussion. Additionally, according to two diplomats, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock may be accompanied by her French and Polish counterparts, Jean-Noël Barrot and Radosław Sikorski. The possible participation of the EU’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, is also being discussed.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s statements continue to raise questions in international politics.
Recently, he expressed interest in the US acquiring Greenland, the world’s largest island, which belongs to Denmark. On January 7, Trump refused to rule out the use of military force to take control of Greenland or the Panama Canal.
These statements have already drawn reactions. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reminded that Greenland belongs to its residents, while French Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized that the European Union will protect its borders from any threats.
