Christodoulides denies relations with US are ‘irreparably damaged’

President Nikos Christodoulides on Thursday night denied that relations between the European Union and the United States have been “irreparably damaged” in light of US President Donald Trump’s ramping up of rhetoric and demands to be handed sovereignty over Greenland.

He was asked about the state of relations with the US upon his arrival at the evening’s extraordinary European Council summit in Brussels, and when asked whether relations are damaged beyond the pair, he said, “no, I do not believe we should follow this path”.
