My sense is that most Europeans still underestimate how serious Trump is about "owning" Greenland, but that most Americans underestimate the likely reaction from Europe, too. This might become a make-or-break moment for #NATO, and US supporters of the Alliance should speak up now - loud and clear.

Lots of reasons for #Weltpolitikschmerz after reading this interview, but let's focus on Greenland for a second. If you still don't believe Trump is serious - please read it. For Trump, the grass is clearly greener in #Greenland.

You want to set a sign that US companies, too, have to abide by our laws if they operate here? Follow @hateaid.org - they fight for rights in the digital space and have just been sanctioned by Trump.

Our new Munich Security Analysis by @tobiasbunde.bsky.social and @valentindaur.bsky.social shows that Germans want a more self-confident policy toward great powers. Yet, this is only possible in cooperation with European partners.
