"Our partnership is strong; we are capable of acting, and we are determined to continue to develop this partnership."
"Germany is wondering right now if it has to be preparing for an attack by its most important NATO ally. In that sense, the relationship has never been worse. On the other hand, by all accounts, Chancellor [Friedrich] Merz and Donald Trump have a pretty good working relationship."
"If the US were to actually violate the sovereignty of its NATO partner Denmark, the alliance would be over, as Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said."
US President Donald Trump announced special tariffs for several European countries, including Germany, intensifying transatlantic tensions. Germany and other European countries deployed soldiers to Greenland after Trump's demand to take the island by force. The EU is considering counter-tariffs on US goods. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul affirmed a strong partnership and stated that the US stood politically and militarily at Europe’s side, but doubts about US protection in a Russian attack are growing. Denmark’s prime minister warned that a US violation of Danish sovereignty would end the alliance. Observers describe the situation as dramatically tense, with leaders showing limited restraint on certain interventions.
