Europe’s New Push for Power After the Greenland Moment

A recent meeting in Paris saw France’s leader tell Europe to get ready for more fights with the United States. He said that the calm after disagreements over Greenland does not mean the tension is gone. The president warned that any clear act of aggression should not be met with submission or endless talks. He also said the United States is acting openly against Europe and wants to weaken it. The French head of state predicted that Washington will soon target the EU’s digital rules, possibly with tariffs.He pointed out that if the European Union sticks to its Digital Services Act, it could face retaliation from the U. S. Macron urged Europe to create a joint borrowing plan, like eurobonds. He believes this would give the bloc more money to invest and reduce its dependence on the U. S. dollar. The goal is to let Europe stand stronger against both America and China. EU leaders are gathering in Brussels soon. They will discuss how to boost the European economy and protect it from outside pressure. The meeting comes as Europe looks for ways to be a real global player.
