Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued a stern warning regarding the future of Europe. According to him, without unity, the continent will "end" amid disagreements in the positions of EU countries on foreign policy. This is reported by Politico.
Tusk noted that Europe will not be taken "seriously" if it is "weak and divided: neither by enemies nor by allies."
"This is already evident. We must finally believe in our strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must remain united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we will end," the politician emphasized.
It is noted that Tusk's warning came after U.S. President Donald Trump began threatening to take control of Greenland.
"We need Greenland for national security reasons. We will deal with Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days," the American leader stated.
It is known that the European Union's reaction to the U.S. operation in Venezuela was somewhat ambiguous. In particular, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, called for "restraint" in a statement that received support from 26 member countries, except Hungary.
"Meanwhile, Spain broke away from the EU and joined five Latin American countries in a much more decisive statement condemning Washington's attack on Venezuela's sovereignty and calling for the country’s natural resources not to be exploited amid Trump’s promise to seize its oil fields," Politico emphasized.
At the same time, Italy expressed more approval, calling the military actions "legitimate against hybrid attacks on security."
For his part, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was harsh, noting that the U.S. invasion of Venezuela is "yet another proof of the disintegration of the world order." Meanwhile, the Hungarian Prime Minister wrote that "the liberal world order is disintegrating."
Trump’s threats regarding Greenland - what is known
Earlier, it became known that the U.S. hinted at an invasion of Greenland following the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. In particular, Washington began to suggest that Greenland could be next on the list of American military operations.
After that, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged the U.S. to stop threatening its ally, emphasizing that the island "is not for sale."
"It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the U.S. supposedly needing to take control of Greenland. The U.S. has no grounds to annex one of the three countries that make up the Kingdom of Denmark," she emphasized.
