Europe Unites Against Trump's Greenland Demands, Rejects 'Big-Power Paradigm'

• European leaders, after a year of appeasement, are now collectively saying 'no' to Donald Trump's disregard for international law and territorial demands, particularly concerning Greenland.
• Trump's renewed demand to take over Greenland, a semi-autonomous region of NATO ally Denmark, was deemed a 'red line' by European nations, prompting strong warnings.
• British Prime Minister Keir Starmer affirmed support for Greenland's sovereignty, while other European leaders declared, 'Europe will not be blackmailed' over the issue.
• The unified stance, exemplified by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, marks a significant shift from previous attempts to manage Trump through traditional diplomacy.
• Despite Trump's threats of import taxes on European goods, leaders like Canada's Mark Carney urged Europe to build power together against a 'bully' and reject coercion.

Why It Matters: European leaders have found a unified voice to defy Trump's demands, marking a shift from appeasement to collective resistance.
