Why Europe struggles to stand up to Trump
The Woman Who Stands Between Donald Trump and Greenland
AI Summary
Since the start of Donald Trump's second term, his confrontational approach has strained relations with Europe.

The EU has attempted diplomacy, even accepting tariffs on exports to the US in a trade agreement that has not been ratified. The US National Security Strategy views Europe as vulnerable due to its own democratic shortcomings, further complicating the transatlantic relationship.
