No ‘business as usual’ with US, says Latvian PM

(Victor Jack – Politico) Europe must emerge as a geopolitical power that speaks in a “direct and clear” way to the U.S. as it moves to reset transatlantic ties, Latvian Prime Minister Evika Siliņa told POLITICO. In the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland, “I don’t think we will be doing business as usual,” Siliņa said in an interview on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. “When we showed our unanimity in supporting Greenland and Denmark, I think [the relationship] shifted a little bit,” she added. “We have to be taken seriously as collective European countries.” – No ‘business as usual’ with US, says Latvian PM – POLITICO
