European Union leaders are breathing a cautious sigh of relief this week after former U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned his controversial push to acquire Greenland. The abrupt shift marks a new chapter in EU-U.S. relations as Brussels navigates post-Trump diplomacy.
From Ice to Opportunity ❄️
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised member states' unity, stating: “Solidarity remains our strongest tool in uncertain times.” The remarks follow Trump’s reversal on threats to impose tariffs on EU nations supporting Denmark, which oversees Greenland’s foreign policy.
