Great analysis of US Greenland threats by @richardmilne.ft.com: “Greenland is ground zero for a new world order of great powers and their spheres of domination if we’re not careful. What European states are recognising is that all of this is disastrous for smaller states.” as.ft.com/r/aa383c19-e...

Greenland is ground zero for Arctic ‘Great Game’

[FREE TO READ] ‘It may sound like American chauvinism . . . and it is. We’re done apologising about that,’ says Trump official

Greenland is the world’s largest island, with deep links to Europe – and squarely in Donald Trump’s sights. The US president’s Venezuelan foray has heightened fears that the Arctic territory is next. But what are Washington’s options? An #FTEdit 🧵 on how Trump’s bid for Greenland could play out 👇

The hypocrisy of US complaints over the EU fine for Musk's X - @richardmilne.ft.com on how the protests that come after some $50bn penalties on European financial groups in the decade from 2014 even though some of the companies had little or no activities in the US. www.ft.com/content/9444...

The hypocrisy of US complaints over X fine

Howls of protest over a modest penalty from the EU contrast with Europe’s silence over far bigger punishments levied on its banks by America

Great, great, great article by @richardmilne.ft.com and @samjoiner.bsky.social—making concrete the Draghi Report’s point that non-tariff barriers inside the EU impose huge costs (Draghi claimed 44%). Huge labels on stuffed animals great way to illustrate this giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The EU single market’s elephant in the room

Small, often invisible barriers to trade affect products from businesses across Europe, including a fluffy Ikea pachyderm

Norway’s ruling Labour party won narrow re-election last night, but will have to rely on a “tutti-frutti” alliance of four smaller parties including Communists, Greens & Eurosceptic agrarians. “It’s a new terrain,” foreign min Espen Barth Eide told @richardmilne.ft.com www.ft.com/content/280b...

We shouldn’t be afraid, we should be prepared - the recurring theme of this great visual story of how NATO countries from Finland 🇫🇮 to Poland 🇵🇱 are strengthening their defences to deter any Russian attack. @richardmilne.ft.com @financialtimes.com

For countries on Europe’s easternmost flank, Russia is a present and looming threat – and they are preparing in case Moscow once again decides to test Nato’s defensive resolve https://on.ft.com/3ZZlJNs

Trump’s dogsled diplomacy has spooked and angered Greenland - @richardmilne.ft.com column. Nobody in Greenland or Denmark is accepting the cited reason for the US national security adviser, vice-president’s wife & secretary of energy to the island - a dogsledding contest www.ft.com/content/079a...

Trump’s dogsled diplomacy has spooked Greenland

Nuuk and Copenhagen’s attempts to placate the US president have given way to anger — and fear

Main lesson: European leaders are criminally unprepared for Trump 2.0 and retain a completely misguided view of Trump and U.S. democracy. The price of the European kicking-the-can-down-the-road approach to political problems is paid on all levels now, national (e.g. Germany) and supranational (EU).

FT scoop: Donald Trump insisted he was serious in his determination to take over Greenland in a fiery telephone call with Denmark’s prime minister last week www.ft.com/content/ace0... @gideonrachman.bsky.social
