Trusting Trump is hard but NATO’s newest member won’t ditch the US yet

(Tim Ross – Politico) Sometimes it is the answers politicians decline to give that are the most revealing — like whether it’s still possible, after clashing bitterly over the fate of Greenland, for a European leader to trust Donald Trump. “I don’t do that kind of judgment,” Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said in an interview with POLITICO, when asked directly if he can trust the U.S. president. “The discussion we had on Greenland and Denmark was a bad one.”. But European leaders, he believes, took the decision to “stand up” for their values and for European integrity in the face of Trump’s aggression — and it worked. “We protected European interests, Danish interests, broader European interests as well. And we did that very clearly.” – Trusting Trump is hard but NATO’s newest member won’t ditch the US yet – POLITICO
