Around 30 European heads of government held a midnight emergency meeting, called
by participants a "therapy night", to discuss a breakdown in relations with the
United States after President Trump threatened to take Greenland from Denmark.
Macron said "there is no turning back" and warned Europe’s overreliance on the
US posed a security risk. Several leaders complained the Trump administration
appears more focused on mining and energy deals than traditional US security
roles; Denmark’s prime minister appeared visibly alarmed. Italy’s Meloni said
engagement with Trump was still possible. Leaders said they were exploring
different paths from the US but had not pursued a formal split; rising mutual
distrust will test alliance cohesion at this week’s NATO summit.
