Denmark flatly rejected US proposals to discuss the sale of Greenland. Foreign Minister Rasmussen said the country “will not enter talks that abandon core principles,” adding, “that will never happen. We live in 2026.” His remarks followed Trump’s renewed push to buy the island. #Greenland

Europe can be incredibly effective when its strong, firm and united 🇪🇺💪🏾

Small resistance matters. Also emotionally. This local Danish app is hitting in the local app store. It helps you identify and avoid US products and suggests local, Danish alternatives.

I proposed to my colleagues in the Senate to have a discussion on how the Parliamentary Assembly of NATO can play a role in a more constructive dialogue between allies. I was pleased with the positive response. Real representatives make a difference @eerstekamer.bsky.social @voltnederland.org

Greenland, we’re with you! 🇪🇺 🇬🇱

Not the right moment to come out as out of touch with the actual world. UK leaving NATO now would be insane betrayal + shooting self in the foot à la Brexit but worse

Every day Russia shows no interest in peace, only in terrorizing the Ukrainian people to break their will. It’s pure evil to take out heating, electricity, and water under freezing conditions (-10 degrees). Nothing should distract us from delivering more support to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

A topic that has taken on new urgency with Trump's attacks on both the UK & the rest of Europe - to quote Benjamin Franklin, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately". Both the UK & the EU need to stop worrying about the scars of Brexit & act more boldly.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Trump is niets anders dan een imperialistisch roofdier dat chanteert, bedreigt en neemt. Een duidelijke en verenigde tegenreactie van Europa is nodig. Nu niet meer vanuit angst maar vanuit kracht. Met dreiging uit het oosten en het westen is het hoogste tijd voor een Verenigde Staten van Europa🇪🇺

Een belangrijke week voor Europa. Eindelijk een spoedvergadering van regeringsleiders, waar Volt eerder om vroeg. De tijd van 27 kibbelende stamhoofden moet voorbij zijn. Eén verenigde reactie van 450 miljoen Europeanen richting de waanzin van Trump. De opmaat naar de Verenigde Staten van Europa.

D66 leader Rob Jetten and CDA leader Henri Bontenbal have both condemned decision by US president Donald Trump to impose trade tariffs on the Netherlands.

On Sunday, Foreign Minister Van Week @ministerbz.bsky.social correctly characterised Trump’s announcement as “blackmail”.

I see that King Lear is on the Royal Exchange this year. "Lear is a searing portrait of a king unable to distinguish truth from lies. As the storm rises and night falls, language, identity and meaning break down completely." www.royalexchange.co.uk/event/king-l...

@reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org @laurensdassen.voltnederland.org @melsklabbers.volteuropa.org Het momentum neemt toe

As Rasmussen says: “the world’s attention is now focused on something that does not represent a threat — namely Greenland, a friendly ally of the US — instead of focusing on what should be the focal point right now: namely, how can we force Putin to the negotiation table in Ukraine?”

Information from the World to US military personnel: If you serve in the US military, and receive orders such as attacking Greenland, then your officer that gave you the order has committed a crime. You are required by the US Constitution to refuse to carry out an illegal order.

Europe stands with Greenland and Denmark. Sovereignty and territorial integrity, as enshrined in the UN Charter, are not for sale. Decisions concerning Denmark and Greenland belong to Denmark and Greenland alone. Our common statement with the leaders of S&D, Renew and the EPP.

Commentators suggest that Denmark and Greenland come empty handed to the US today. Well...they bring - decades of collaboration - reliable alliance partnership - increasing investment in Arctic security - support for increased US and NATO presence in 🇬🇱 Normally this would be enough among friends

Headlines matter. How about US would break international law and upend world security alliances, if Trump got his way www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/w...

Zojuist met @katipiri.bsky.social en Eric van der Burg gesproken met de ambassadeurs van Noorwegen, Zweden, IJsland, Finland en Denemarken. Binnen NAVO en EU moet Nederland nauwer optrekken met gelijkgestemde landen zoals de Nordic+ om onze strategische autonomie versneld te versterken.
