59 m. ago The Guardian view on Keir Starmer and Donald Trump: quiet diplomacy has reached its limit | Editorial

The prime minister has a duty to be candid with the British public about the scale of the global realignment caused by a volatile US presidentOne foreign policy achievement that Donald Trump prefers not to boast about is his role in helping Mark Carney win last year’s Canadian general election. The incumbent Liberal party faced crushing defeat before Mr Trump threatened to annex Canada. Mr Carney’s candidacy was buoyed up by a patriotic rally against US bullying.Perhaps because his country has also been coveted by Mr Trump, Mr Carney has given one of the most clear-sighted responses of any democratic leader to the US president’s designs on Greenland. Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Canadian prime minister set out the challenge for countries whose security and prosperity have depended on a global system underwritten by the US.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

2 h. ago Trump’s tariff threat leaves Europe with a choice: fight back or cease to matter | Georg Riekeles

Appeasing Trump has only emboldened him. But European leaders are not as helpless as the US president believesGeorg Riekeles is the associate director of the European Policy CentreEU leaders’ tough rebukes to Donald Trump in Davos must be followed by concrete action when they convene in Brussels on Thursday night. The US president’s attempt to strong-arm Greenland and Denmark, backed by explicit tariff threats against those who refuse to comply, is not bluster or improvisation. It is economic coercion, openly deployed to force political submission and territorial concessions. The danger lies in the demand itself, but also in how Europe responds.The EU has reached a moment of truth. If it cannot defend one of its member states whose most basic interests are under direct threat, then the EU is weakened as a geopolitical actor and emptied of purpose.Georg Riekeles is the associate director of the European Policy CentreDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
