Europe in combat mode? Paris summit redraws Ukraine plans without Washington
Edité par France 24 - 2025
The Danish leader is representing one of over 30 NATO countries present in Paris for a "coalition of the willing" summit on Ukraine. But those 32 nations do not include the United States.
Co-hosts France and the UK know they can't deploy peacekeepers over the heads of a reluctant Trump administration.
So what's the workaround? And with Washington now repeating what sounds like Kremlin talking points, how grave a danger is there not just for Ukraine, but for all of Europe? Is the EU overreacting when it advises its citizens to stockpile three days of food and essentials just in case?
- Note
If Europeans didn't get the memo in Munich, when JD Vance preferred a meeting with the pro-Putin far-right leader Alice Weidel to one with Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz, then they're cordially invited to read what he says in private about an Old Continent populated by "freeloaders". If Signalgate's still not enough, then how about a sitting US vice president announcing an uninvited visit to Greenland? A "very aggressive" posture, says Denmark's prime minister. But what can Mette Frederiksen do when her country buys most of its military hardware from the US and hosts a US Air Force base in Greenland?
