US war with Iran hints at limits of ‘Make Europe Great Again’ project, analysts say

President Donald Trump's announcement of a joint U.S.-Israeli surprise attack on Iran in February was met with little enthusiasm in Europe, where leaders were quick to warn of the political and economic turmoil that America's latest Middle East campaign would unleash. Seven weeks on, no European nations have joined the U.S.-Israeli war, despite near-constant pressure from Trump to do so. Some European nations have allowed U.S. forces to continue using key military bases to launch attacks and have taken part in defensive operations to shoot down Iranian munitions targeting regional bases and nations. But there appears to be little appetite for a full and open-ended entanglement with Iran among European voters, even those who support the nationalist, anti-establishment parties that have so...

Trump says he ‘won’t use force’ to take control of Greenland, but insists it’s US territory

US President Donald Trump has said he "won't use force" to obtain Greenland, while describing it as "our territory" and calling for an "immediate" return to negotiations – although he refused to name his price for the island.

Trump directly addressed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte before saying the US would not use "excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly unstoppable".

Denmark still has ‘fundamental disagreement’ with Donald Trump over Greenland after high-stakes meeting

Danish officials claim a "fundamental disagreement" over Greenland remains with President Donald Trump after highly anticipated talks with the vice president and secretary of state. It comes as Trump insisted anything less than total US control of the island would be "unacceptable". The two sides, however, agreed to create a working group to discuss ways to work through differences as Trump continues to call for a US takeover of the semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. US President Donald Trump has made strong demands of Denmark surrounding the fate of Greenland. (AP) "The group, in our view, should focus on how to address the American security concerns, while at the same time respecting the red lines of the Kingdom of Denmark," Danish Foreign Minister La...
