France has warned Donald Trump against threatening the “sovereign borders” of the European Union after the US president-elect refused to rule out military action to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of EU member Denmark.

He added that while he did not believe the US “would invade” Greenland “we have entered an era that is seeing the return of the law of the strongest”.
