Scholz Rejects Expansionist Agenda Laid Out in Trump Remarks

^{Published on 2025-01-08 14:21:09 - MSN}

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pushed back on comments made by US President-elect Donald Trump, including a threat to use economic force to annex Canada and seize Greenland.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has firmly rejected the expansionist agenda suggested by former U.S. President Donald Trump in recent remarks. Trump had proposed that Russia could potentially take over parts of Ukraine and suggested that NATO countries not meeting defense spending targets might not receive U.S. protection. Scholz, in response, emphasized Germany's commitment to supporting Ukraine and maintaining the integrity of NATO, stating that such an agenda would undermine European security and international law.
