Trump World Takes on Europe
The first few weeks of the second Trump administration have seen a flurry of executive orders, tariffs imposed (or threatened) on allies and adversaries alike, and bold statements about world affairs. Trump’s remarks about Greenland, including his refusal to rule out taking the Danish territory by force, have been some of his most provocative and Europe is reeling from this abrupt change in approach. On this week’s episode of Brussels Sprouts, Steve Erlanger and Mij Rahman join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend to discuss Trump, tariffs, European defense spending, and Ukraine.
Steve Erlanger is the chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times, where he covers Europe and transatlantic relations.
Mij Rahman is the Managing Director for Europe at the Eurasia Group.
