Carney to Europeans + other middle powers: “When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what’s offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating. This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”
“We are taking the sign out of the window. The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just. This is the task of the middle powers.”

To defend Greenland and itself from Trump, the EU and its leaders must stop its deregulation packages.
EU omnibus packages serve US and not European interests.

Hungary and Czech Republic choose not to back Denmark. I hope they're not not looking for anyone to back them in in future. EU doesn't have the mechanisms but should suspend these two states from EU, meanwhile carry on dealing with Trump's absurd megolamania without them.
💥Viktor Orbán’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó says Hungary is BLOCKING a joint EU statement on Greenland.
After years acting as a Trojan horse for Russia and China, Budapest now does the same for Donald Trump.

Kirjoitin @hs.fi Vieraskynän joulun alla tehdystä päätöksestä tukea Ukrainaa EU:n yhteisvelalla, kun Venäjän jäädytettyihin reserveihin perustuvasta 'sotakorvauslainasta' ei päästy sopuun. Väitän että päätös oli hyvä juttu, toisin kuin asia on laajalti yleisessä keskustelussa käsitetty. 1/9

Yes, the screeching sound you’re hearing across the continent is Europe’s far right performing U-turns on Trump. One to watch: the UK’s Nigel Farage (“under the weather”’ yesterday).
Here is only at first paradoxical reaction I believe we will see more of - AfD member of the Bundestag Kay Gottschalk argues the US tariffs over Greendland call for more European sovereignty, a European military alliance, a German nuke and ends his video with the slogan "Long live Europe".

The public discussion about whether Trump would order an invasion of Greenland feels awfully reminiscent of the debates before Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine: ”No, he won’t order an invasion. It doesn’t make sense for Russia because XYZ.”

Assuming this is the letter (see post below), every European head that received it, should make it public, along with a reply.
This is NOT anyone you can negotiate with. Guessing we’ll hear worse at Davos.
This is not a negotiation tactic. Trump is serious - insane but serious.

A key point here in an excellent thread by @maxbergmann.bsky.social:
Continuing with the grovelling strategy, distasteful to the European publics from the start, would likely have a domestic political cost to European leaders. It’s time for a strong response now. Enough is enough.

Trump tariffing countries over Greenland is a test. If Europe just swallows it and tries to move on, it increases the odds of the WH thinking it can seize Greenland without consequences. Europe therefore has to respond.
