France wants NATO exercise in Greenland, ‘ready to contribute’: presidency

PARIS: France called Wednesday for NATO to hold an exercise in Greenland and said it was “ready to contribute,” as US President Donald Trump’s push to take the Danish autonomous territory upends the transatlantic alliance.
“France calls for a NATO exercise in Greenland and is ready to contribute to it,” President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.
