The UK and its European neighbours confront two case studies, simultaneously, in how the continent is attempting, with varying degrees of success, to bind the United States into its future. Firstly, there is Ukraine and then there is Greenland. And all this at a time of deep scepticism in Washington about Europe: its importance, its outlook and its willingness to pull its weight to defend itself.
The futures of Ukraine and Greenland, both in the headlines at the same time, are the latest example of the mesmerising, head-spinning unpredictability of President Trump. rivately, senior figures in London have a knowing look when the wild uncertainty of the White House crops up in conversation. Every day is a rollercoaster, with little sense of where tomorrow or next week's twist might take them, take us.
