Politiker warnt vor WM-Boykott in USA wegen Trumps Eskalationen, FIFA schweigt.
Der außenpolitische Sprecher der Unionsfraktion, Jürgen Hardt (CDU), hat in Zusammenhang mit den US-Drohungen gegenüber Grönland einen Boykott der Fußball-WM in den USA ins Spiel gebracht.

Overview

  • The White House said the arrival of European soldiers will not affect President Trump's determination to pursue control of Greenland.
  • About 15 French troops have reached Nuuk and 13 German soldiers are expected at Denmark's invitation as a solidarity presence.
  • Talks in Washington produced no progress, with Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen citing fundamental disagreements and no rapprochement.
  • An EU spokesperson said Greenland falls in principle under the Article 42(7) mutual‑solidarity clause because it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, though its application remains contested.
  • Italy declined to join the deployment and labeled the mission a joke, while Germany’s Boris Pistorius urged calm and described the situation as a power play.
