Guardian: Trump only understands the language of force – Mehr News Agency | RCO News Agency

According to the Mehr news agency, “The Guardian” announced in a report that the last 2 weeks saw the most significant escalation of the crisis in transatlantic relations (Europe and America), due to Washington’s threat to annex Greenland (an autonomous region of Denmark).

“The Guardian” adds in this report: This crisis until today, has brought the risk of becoming a major conflict between NATO members. But on Wednesday (before), after the meeting between US President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump backed off his threats to impose tariffs on European countries that obstructed his Greenland annexation project. European heads of state gathered at dinner in Brussels on January 22 for a post-crisis summit, congratulating themselves on their unity and appreciating Rutte’s intervention.

This media added: After the Europeans announced that they would hold a military exercise in Greenland in response to Trump’s threats, the US president announced in his speech at the Davos meeting that he would not seek to take over the island by force.

“The Guardian” concluded: This position is a great lesson for Europe, and that even their tentative determination is much better than their past flattery and retreat; Because Trump only understands the language of power and force.
