Latest from #EUCO: Mario Draghi called on leaders to explore a two-speed Europe through the use of enhanced cooperation to "move faster" with ambitious economic reforms.

Von der Leyen, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Ireland have also voiced support.

Very interesting meetings at the European Parliament with MEPs Gerben-Jan @Gerbrandy (Vice-President of Renew Europe, from the Netherlands D66) and @Svenja_Hahn (President of ALDE).

We also remembered and paid our respects to the victims of the Holocaust in the chamber. Europe must learn from the past and tackle polarization with more democracy.

Eurolegebiltzarrean euskararen ofizialtasuna aldarrikatu dugu, Europako hizkuntzarik zaharrena dela jakinik. Guztiok babestu behar genukeen altxorra.

Gaur ofiziala ez bada, errudun nagusia Alderdi Popularra da. Guk, tinko eta gogor jarraituko dugu lanean ofizialtasunaren alde, eta ziur gaude lehenago edo geroago lortuko dugula.

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. Let’s have a look at seven points:

1. The U.S. needs Greenland for its own defense - Golden Dome, radars, basing.

▶️ The United States can do virtually anything it'd like in Greenland, security-wise, without taking possession of it. The 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, which was renewed in 2004, allows the United States to build bases there, station troops, and more.

2. Greenland is about to fall into the hands of Russia and China, and the U.S. can’t let that happen.

▶️ The U.S. once had 10,000 U.S. troops in Greenland; now there are around 200. If there is an imminent threat of Chinese or Russian takeover (there isn’t), perhaps start by increasing that number?

3. Russian and Chinese ships are swarming Greenland and the Danes can’t fend them off.

▶️ If Russian and Chinese ships are really menacing the island, the U.S. Navy could sail around it right now en masse. It isn’t.

4. The U.S. needs to own Greenland because "you don't defend leases." Even if Denmark allows full access, there’s a difference between owning and renting.

▶️ This is the No One Washes a Rental Car theory of international relations. In reality, the United States is committed to defending many allies whose territory it does not own. Trump himself defended Israel just last year. The whole point of alliances is mutual defense of one another's territory. That doesn't require seizing it. 

5. The Danes are bad allies, so they should hand over Greenland.

▶️ Denmark has been a model ally. Not so long ago, Danes fought for America’s defense rather than the other way around. Among 40-plus allies and partners in Afghanistan, Denmark lost the most soldiers as a percentage of its population. Our allies defended the U.S., which, by the way, none of them owns.

6. This is the new Manifest Destiny. We’re an expansionist, frontier people. Greenland should, one way or the other, join the ever-growing Republic.

▶️ The post-1945 order is predicated a prohibition against conquest. Countries don’t acquire the territory of another without their consent. Iraq doesn’t get Kuwait, Russia can’t have Ukraine, Canada won’t be the 51st state, and the U.S. doesn’t compel Greenland to join. We’ve seen a world before in which conquest abounds. It’s the law of the jungle.

7. This isn’t real, just some fun administration trolling of the ever-nervous Europeans.

▶️ It is at a minimum a major distraction from real issues the transatlantic allies should focus on: Russia, Ukraine, Iran, China. Prodding allies to distrust our word and intentions does not amount to good policy.

Most foreign policy issues are difficult and complicated. Greenland isn’t one of them. The sooner this manufactured crisis fades, the better.

JUST NOW!!! U.S. Senators move to block Trump from ‘annexing’ Greenland

BREAKING: EU diplomats have said there is still no trade deal with the United States, and have given a downbeat assessment of how US President Donald Trump might respond when the deadline to reach agreement expires next Wednesday, when a 90 day pause on higher tariffs runs out.

Brussels is watching amazed, as Trump destroys the US economy. "Nobody in the Commission thought that the US government would be this stupid and self-destructive," an EU official tells me. "That they would blow up their own country by letting ChatGPT make their trade policy." 🧵

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

[Hans von der Burchard @vonderburchard]

We’ve been wondering how the Trump team came up with these weird tariffs that others are allegedly charging the U.S. — a fictive 39% for the EU — to justify the reciprocal tariffs.

@SanderTordoir found out they simply divided the trade deficit by exports to U.S.

This is wild.
