"We continue to call for de-escalation and the resumption of talks. Yesterday I was able to speak with the President of Iran and I called for talks to resume as soon as possible. This is also what I said in my exchange with (U.S.) President (Donald) Trump, who is sharing this video. So we will have the opportunity, in a few hours, to come back to this with the G7 leaders. And I hope that the next few hours will restore calm, which is what discussion is all about."

STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron landed in Greenland on Sunday, the strategic Arctic island coveted by US President Donald Trump, carrying a “message of friendship and solidarity” from France and the European Union.
Macron reiterated his criticism of Trump’s intention to take control of the territory.
“I don’t think that’s something to be done between allies,” he said as he was greeted at the Nuuk airport by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
“It’s important to show that Denmark and Europe are committed to this territory, which has very high strategic stakes and whose territorial integrity must be respected,” Macron said.
Macron, who is visiting Greenland for the first time, said he was “very happy to be here… to convey a message of friendship and solidarity from France and the European Union to help this territory face the different challenges: economic, development, education, but also the consequences of climate change."
He was making the stop on his way a summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations in Canada that will be also attended by Trump.
Macron also call for a de-escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran.
"Yesterday I was able to speak with the President of Iran and I called for talks to resume as soon as possible. This is also what I said in my exchange with President Trump," he told reporters.
