I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland, says President Macron, in a message that was then posted to Truth Social by President Trump, even as tensions grow around Greenland ahead of a series of meetings at the World Economic Forum in Davos. A source close to the French president has confirmed to CNN that the message is real.
