French President Emmanuel Macron says the "endless accumulation of new tariffs" from the US is "fundamentally unacceptable," BBC reported.
Macron adds that is even more the case when tariffs are "used as leverage against territorial sovereignty."
He was speaking at the forum of world leaders in Davos, days after Donald Trump announced new tariffs for countries that oppose his plan to own Greenland.
Macron says that France and Europe are "obviously" attached to national sovereignty and independence.
He says this is "not an old fashioned" way to live, but rather not to "totally forget" lessons from World War Two, and to remain committed to co-operation.
Earlier, Trump said there was "no going back" on his plan, claiming "Greenland is imperative for national and world security."
And Trump shared a message, apparently from Emmanuel Macron, in which Macron said: "I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland."
Trump also shared a message from Nato's secretary general and posted generated images of himself placing an American flag on Greenland.
