By Michel Rose PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday he was visiting Greenland to show French and European Union solidarity with the Arctic island after U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to take it over.

French President Emmanuel Macron has landed in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by Trump, carrying a 'message of solidarity and friendship' from France and the European Union.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s first trip to Greenland is aimed at shoring up Europe’s political backing for Denmark and its semiautonomous territory.
