Denmark Leads EU Amid Security and Trade Challenges

News summary

Denmark has assumed the six-month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, with a focus on bolstering European security and economic competitiveness during a period of heightened international tensions. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized Europe's need to take more responsibility for its own security and prosperity, especially amid uncertainty over continued US support. The Danish presidency comes as recent Russian-Ukrainian peace talks in Istanbul yielded limited progress and as the EU faces potential new US tariffs. Denmark is expected to lead efforts to compensate for any reduction in US aid and to foster consensus among EU member states on key trade issues. Additionally, Denmark aims to avoid contentious debates surrounding Greenland's EU status while reinforcing the bloc's territorial integrity. The presidency's motto is 'A Strong Europe in a Changing World,' with priorities including security and economic competitiveness by 2030.
