German Chancellor Olaf Scholz responds to US President-elect Donald Trump's comments about annexing Canada and seizing Greenland, emphasizing the importance of respecting national borders and sovereignty. Without identifying Trump by name, Scholz said in a statement in Berlin that he discussed the latest developments with European allies in a joint phone call. “In my discussions with our European allies, there was a certain level of incomprehension with regard to the latest statements from the US,” Scholz said.
