Poland’s Tusk calls for ‘mutual respect’ during row with Ukraine

Reuters Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky together in Kyiv in February Poland's prime minister has called for "truth" and "mutual respect" at an event on rebuilding Ukraine that Volodymyr Zelensky skipped amid a diplomatic row between the two neighbours and allies. Donald Tusk opened the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk without the Ukrainian president after he was stripped of Poland's highest state honour over the naming of a military unit after controversial World War Two fighters. Warsaw and Kyiv have fallen out over the allusion to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), who many Ukrainians consider freedom fighters but who Poland accuses of genocide. The row comes as Ukraine seeks further support and investment as i...

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...

Donald Trump appears to mix up Greenland and Iceland four times

Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly mistake Iceland for Greenland in his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland overnight.

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. Addressing some of the world's richest and most powerful people at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday (early Thursday AEDT), Trump called on Denmark and NATO to give him "a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection". 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". US President Donald Trump addresses the audience during the Annual Meeting of the World Eco...
