The Washington Roundtable discusses President Donald Trump’s threats to accumulate Greenland and his subsequent retreat. At Davos this week, the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, characterised the episode as “a rupture on this planet order.” To research how Trump’s rhetoric has heightened issues in regards to the sturdiness of the transatlantic alliance, the Roundtable is joined by Carl Bildt, the co-chair of the European Council on Overseas Relations and the previous Prime Minister of Sweden. “I feel what we have to do as Europeans is to do our personal factor,” Bildt says. “We now have a United States that, from our perspective, is unpredictable.”
