What Trump and NATO Leaders won't talk about today: ending war, advocacy of human rights, sustainable development, global cooperation of all nations re: climate change, tabula rasa diplomacy, use of military as first responders (saving lives instead of killing people).

If Trump is going to move fast and break things, then let’s move fast and build things in EU: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The big lesson for Europe? Trump backed down under pressure

The EU neither ‘kissed ass’ nor unleashed its most powerful trade weapon. Now it must provide the world with an alternative to US chaos

Trump & Vance keep saying we “need” Greenland for security.
But there is no threat to Greenland from Russia or China or any country.

Navarro: There are reports that the people prepping the trip for Usha Vance had been going in the capital of Greenland, door-to-door,trying to find a family willing to receive her and couldn’t find one. There’s all of these people in Greenland who are now wearing these “Make America Go Away” hats.
