France has asked for a NATO exercise in Greenland and is ready to contribute to it, French President Emmanuel ‍Macron's office said ‍on Wednesday.

News of the request comes as President ⁠Donald Trump arrived in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, where he is likely to ​use the World Economic Forum to escalate his push for acquiring Greenland ‍despite European protests in the biggest fraying of ⁠transatlantic ties in decades.

Speaking in Davos on Tuesday, Macron said Europe would not give in to bullies or ⁠be intimidated, in ​a scathing ⁠criticism of Trump's threat to impose steep ‍tariffs if Europe does not let him take over ‌Greenland.

NATO leaders have warned that Trump's Greenland strategy could upend the alliance. ⁠Trump ​has linked ‍Greenland to his anger at not receiving a Nobel Peace ‍Prize.
