\u201cAfter the back and forth of the last few days, we should now wait and see what substantive agreements are reached between Mr. Rutte and Mr. Trump,\u201d Klingbeil told German broadcaster ZDF. \u201cNo matter what solution is now found for Greenland, everyone must understand that we cannot sit back, relax, and be satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
An EU official directly involved in the negotiations in recent days said \u201cI would be skeptical about calling this fantastic news. We cannot live our lives or govern our countries based on social media posts.\u201d<\/p>\n
EU leaders are set to meet Thursday evening to discuss Europe\u2019s response to the U.S. president\u2019s recent escalation over Greenland. That summit is still going ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot has happened since the start of the year, it\u2019s a good idea for these leaders to sit together and discuss the [volatile] world we live in,\u201d the EU official said.<\/p>\n
Regardless of Trump\u2019s reversal on his trade threats and the apparent Greenland deal, the U.S. president\u2019s speech in Davos \u201cwill give food for thought in most if not all capitals, tariffs or not,\u201d another EU official said.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the Thursday summit remains to discuss transatlantic relations, a third EU official said. \u201cThe question of tariffs is off the table but Greenland is still on the table, transatlantic relationship is still an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAfter the back and forth of the last few days, we should now wait and see what substantive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":711783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[1393,21882,473,365,32,2000,299,5187,1214,769,36,1824,366,6854,1197,2992,48,812,479,3053,1201,6717,49],"class_list":{"0":"post-711782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-anti-coercion-instrument","9":"tag-davos","10":"tag-defense","11":"tag-denmark","12":"tag-donald-trump","13":"tag-eu","14":"tag-europe","15":"tag-european","16":"tag-exports","17":"tag-finland","18":"tag-france","19":"tag-germany","20":"tag-greenland","21":"tag-intellectual-property","22":"tag-investment","23":"tag-mark-rutte","24":"tag-rights","25":"tag-sweden","26":"tag-tariffs","27":"tag-the-netherlands","28":"tag-trade","29":"tag-transatlantic-relations","30":"tag-united-states"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115935601329261238","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/711783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
