Brexit divided the UK - and united the EU. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Denmark’s new four-party government has drawn a clear conclusion: in a world shaped by Trump, Putin and Xi, Denmark cannot safeguard its security and sovereignty alone. Its answer? A much stronger and more active role in the EU. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

NATO foreign ministers meet in Helsingborg, gazing across the water at Hamlet’s Kronborg – and facing their own “to be or not to be” moment. With US commitment in doubt and Europe carrying the load on Ukraine the real question is whether the alliance itself will endure. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

American presidents used to play a leading role in rules-based international cooperation. Not President Trump. In his dealings with the outside world, Trump resembles a travelling salesman more than a powerful international statesman – and that has consequences for the US 👇

Only two percent of Danes believe that the United States would come to Denmark’s rescue if a military threat against Denmark were to arise. 1/

Orbán’s European MAGA project is in a coma. His election defeat and empty chair at the EU summit in Cyprus give Europe new room to act: stronger support for Ukraine, tougher sanctions on Russia (and possibly Israel) + momentum to “Orban-proof” the next EU budget. Link below:

Hungary’s 2026 election could unlock vital EU funding for Ukraine, reshape relations inside the EU, and weaken both Putin’s and Trump’s influence in Europe. Above all, a clear and uncontested outcome is crucial to avoid a new transatlantic crisis. Link below

A guide to the Danish election. 179 members of the Danish Parliament – the Folketing – are to be elected. 175 members from Denmark, two from Greenland and two from the Faroe Islands. You need 90 seats to have a majority in the Danish Parliament. 1/

I aften er der partilederdebat når DR afholder Demokratiets Aften. Der vil helt sikkert være mange forskellige emner til debat. Jeg har skrevet lidt om, hvilke europæiske og udenrigspolitiske udfordringer der venter Danmarks næste regering. Link 👇

I januar blev Grønland og Kongeriget Danmark udsat for en række uønskede tilnærmelser fra USA´s præsident Trump. USA ønskede at splitte EU, så Danmark og Grønland stod alene overfor USA. Men EU-landene stod sammen. Det skabte begrebet "Grønlandsmomentet." Her er historien 👇

Europe must be stronger and more independent from the US. That’s the core message from French president, Emmanuel Macron and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in an interview with Danmarks Radio. 1/

Europe’s leaders meet in Brussels facing two wars, soaring energy prices and a far more dangerous world. Putin’s war in Ukraine and Trump’s war in the Middle East both hit Europe hard. At the same time, the EU is increasingly exposed to economic blackmail from the US and China.

Trump’s bombs didn’t just hit Iran – they also hit opponents of the EU’s green transition. The Iran war has sent oil and gas prices soaring, reminding Europe how costly and risky it is to depend on fossil fuels from unstable regions. Link 👇

The world has changed so fundamentally that the EU can no longer just defend a rules-based order that the great powers themselves ignore. Europe must learn to project power – deter, counter aggression and defend its interests more assertively, according to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Trump is raising tariff walls and trying to force companies to move to the US. Now the EU is responding with its own “buy European” initiative. Link below.

The US attack on Iran shows that there is no such thing as European Trump whisperers. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

The United States under Donald Trump has erected tariff barriers that make it more difficult to trade with the US. The EU has responded by entering into large, comprehensive trade agreements with, among others, South America and India. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called an election. There will be an election for the Danish Parliament on March 24.

First, Trump stopped U.S. aid to Ukraine – and now Trump’s allies are stopping the EU’s aid to Ukraine. Even though Russia has invaded their neighbour, Hungary and Slovakia now prevent the EU from helping Ukraine and punishing Russia. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

If you think Europe can defend itself without the US – just keep dreaming,” says Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte . Yet the EU is in the process of making itself militarily independent of the US. Has Trump awakened a sleeping European giant in the field of defence? www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Trump sees trade as a weapon that can be used to coerce other countries. The EU sees trade as a way to promote peace and cooperation. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Only 17 percent of Danes see the United States as an ally. That is the result of a new opinion poll conducted by Danmarks Radio. Sixty percent of Danes now view the United States as an adversary, while one in five Danes simply no longer knows what to think of the U.S. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Greenland’s struggle has now become Europe’s and the world’s struggle against Donald Trump’s new world order. With the threat of punitive tariffs on countries that send soldiers to Greenland, President Trump is trying to divide Europe. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Begår man en strafbar handling i DR´s #Fodboldlisten (som f.eks. en fejlagtig spådom), så afsones straffen med sang. @thomasloft.bsky.social fik Andreas Kraul til at synge undskyld til #AGF. Nu har @mathiasjacobsen.bsky.social fået mig til at synge Belgien :) www.dr.dk/lyd/special-...

President Trump needs weak and divided European leaders. A united EU holds very strong cards and would be able to punish the US severely in the event of American aggression toward Greenland. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Verden forandrede sig dramatisk i 2025. Forholdet mellem Europa og USA blev forværret og Kina spillede med musklerne. Jeg har talt med udenrigsminister @lars-loekke.bsky.social om, hvad den nye verden den indebærer af både farer og muligheder for Europa. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Will the EU finance Ukraine now that the U.S. has shut the money tap? Will the EU open its market to Latin America while the U.S. raises tariff walls and restricts global trade? A moment of destiny in Brussels. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Forholdet mellem Europas politiske ledere og USA´s politiske ledelse under Donald Trump er anstrengt. Udadtil nævnes USA stadig som ven og allieret. Bag lukkede døre er tonen en anden. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Er Trump Europas ven eller fjende? Europæerne er i tvivl. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

The United States has negotiated with Russia about Ukraine’s and Europe’s security—without Ukrainians and Europeans at the table. They agreed that European taxpayers should pay for the cleanup after the destruction Russia has caused in Ukraine. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

European countries have begun massive investments in defense. EU countries are working on a plan to spend the money more efficiently. The goal is to develop and joint purchase more military equipment within Europe. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Greenland’s global significance has grown, and the country has received some unwanted attention from U.S. President Trump. Now Greenland is seeking a future of closer cooperation with the EU — and the EU appears more than ready to strengthen its ties with Greenland. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Denmark chooses to purchase European air defense systems from France, Italy, Germany, and Norway in the largest Danish military investment ever. European air defense can be delivered faster and more affordably than American Patriot missiles. www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

In a bunker in Brussels the EU is preparing for a trade war with the US. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Everyone looks at the EU budget as a tool to solve their economic problems and challenges, while no one wants to pay more into the EU coffers. Expectations for today's announcement on the EU's future budget are enormous. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

When Europe decided not to retaliate when the US increased tariffs, @realDonaldTrump smelled blood and increased pressure on the trade negotiators from the European Union. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Russia, the US, and China dream of a divided Europe that disagrees on issues like the support for Ukraine and the handling of the trade conflict with the US. The most important task for ‪@eu2025dk.bsky.social‬ is to ensure unity and cohesion in the EU. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

USA´s præsident er ikke længere det naturlige samlingspunkt ved internationale møder. Tværtimod. For de gamle industrilande er USA i dag oftere en modstander end en medspiller og det blev tydeligt ved G7-topmødet i Canada i denne uge. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

For the first time since Donald Trump took office in January, the American president will participate in a meeting where the participants have one thing in common. They are all at odds with Donald Trump on different issues from trade to broken American promises. #G7 www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

French president @EmmanuelMacron is travelling to Greenland on June 15th. The president will visit Greenland on his way to the G7 summit in Canada. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Trump and Putin force the UK to rethink Brexit www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Should the European Union just let Donald Trump 'mariné dans sa propre jus' of self-created tariff problems? Or should the Europeans increase the American problems by hitting the American economy and American businesses through retaliation? www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Today's published list of US products that could face EU tariffs includes items such as false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and wigs. The Americans won't know what hit them!

This raises so many questions. Is the fax machine still alive or is it now finally dead?

Donald Trump blinked first, and now everyone knows that he cannot win a trade war. The coming months will show whether the EU and China can win everything that the US risks losing. A stable EU now looks EU more attractive to the rest of the world. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Aktiemarkedet brænder, renterne stiger, virksomheder kæmper at håndtere deres handel med omverdenen og arbejdstagere bliver fyret pga af det igangværende kaos. Imens underskriver præsidenten endnu et dekret.

Glem aktiemarkedet. Det vigtigste som man skal holde øje med i dag er kursen/renten på de 10-årige statsobligationer som USA skal sælge senere i dag for at vedligeholde den amerikanske statsgæld. Hvem køber (og hvem køber ikke)? Hvor stor/lille er interessen?

Most countries have a twofold strategy towards Trumps tariffs. They start by kissing ass to see if there is a deal to be made. If that doesn’t work the next step will be kicking ass.

I dag er 25 procent af danskernes pensionsopsparing placeret i USA. Men er det stadig sikkert at investere i USA i en fremtid, hvor det er Donald Trump som er årsag til den økonomiske usikkerhed i verden? Det har jeg talt med Nobeløkonomen, @pkrugman.bsky.social om. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

The first meeting of the Danish EU presidency will be held in Aarhus. This will happen when the Danish government welcomes @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and the members of the European Commission to Aarhus on July 3rd.
