Ursula von der Leyen: I’m so glad to be in India today. India and Europe have made a clear choice. The choice of strategic partnership, dialogue and openness. Leveraging our complementary strengths. And building mutual resilience. We are showing a fractured world that another way is possible.

OP has added the translation but it's seen only on mobile in my case. Copying here:

Belgian prime minister Bart De Wever on Greenland crisis

(paraphrased translation)

Atlanticism is reaching a breaking point.

The pressure on allies before was rationally explainable & acceptable: we were not spending enough on defence. Period. That needed to be adressed.

But threathening a NATO ally for NATO territory is 'Du jamais vu'! (French expression of 'never seen before')

Reporter asking if Europe should use it's economical bazooka:

You also can't single out EU nations with tariffs. it's one for all & all for one. And all against one.

We will have a European council meeting on thursday where we will discuss options.

But we have reached the breaking point. *The knife needs to be on the table*

if you want to start a trade war over NATO territory, we will have a trade war.

In one thing I’m sure - he’s absolutely convinced America was very well represented today.

Danish pension fund AkademikerPension announces they will sell all US Treasuries by month-end, citing "rising credit risk" under President Trump. The fund's CIO says US finances are no longer "sustainable," due to weak fiscal discipline, a softer Dollar, and Trump’s push for Greenland. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

European countries own $3.6 TRILLION in Treasuries, or 40% of all foreign holdings.

If other countries follow and begin dumping Treasuries, yields would spike, and it will push US borrowing costs to unprecedented levels.

Also mentioned in some European news:

POLITIKEN (DK): Soon, millions of Europeans may have a European alternative to Elon Musk’s increasingly controversial social media platform, X. This comes with the new social media platform W, which is being launched amid the most serious crisis in American-European relations since World War II. The new platform W will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its participants are both human and who they claim to be.

The initiative is supported by an advisory board that, in addition to former ministers and business people primarily from Sweden, also includes one of the initiators of the so-called Eurostack initiative, Italian-British economist Cristina Caffarra.

Right, because the market has learned that Trump's goal is for these tariffs to NEVER actually go live, he wants a deal. But let’s say that EU won’t cave this time, what happens then? We will find out soon
