Contrary to recent media reports, there has not been a *united* European show of strength against Trump this week.
Europe is divided into 3 camps on this: the hawks, the collaborators and the appeasers.
The jury's still out on which of the latter two categories Meloni is in.

Yesterday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni publicly suggested that Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Prize. Words matter — and this one speaks volumes.
When leaders who call themselves “sovereigntists” stop pretending, the mask slips. Behind the slogans lies clear political alignment.

In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”
The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

If US threats towards Greenland continue, Europe could refuse to refuel American ships in European ports, require higher payments for the stationing of US troops — or even close US military bases. https://bit.ly/3NcvJ2j
US intentions towards Greenland threaten NATO’s future. But European countries are not helpless
US threats to annex Greenland following the attack on Venezuela should be taken seriously. European countries have important leverage they should be prepared to use.

Media | Ruotsi sanoo, mitä ajattelee – Suomi ajattelee, mitä sanoo
Ruotsissa päättäjät uskaltavat arvostella Yhdysvaltoja suoremmin kuin Suomessa. Neljä median tuntijaa pohtii, onko Ruotsin linja rohkea vai tekopyhä.
