It suggests that this is less a final settlement, but perhaps more of a tactical pause here.
Donald Trump is seeing this as a win.
He's keeping that leverage.
But I think both in Congress on Capitol Hill and among the US public, they know that Donald Trump is someone who can leave that door open to reapply pressure if he doesn't get the deal that he's looking for.
Where do you think that leaves us?
Thank you very much.
NATO would absolutely be there for the defence of America, were that the case.
Because remember, during that Davos speech from President Trump, he said, I'm not even sure that NATO allies would be there for us.
And I think that was difficult for NATO allies to hear because, as we all know, the one time that Article 5 was triggered, you know, an attack on one is an attack on all, was in the wake of 9-11.
And we did, of course, see NATO troops deployed alongside US forces to Afghanistan.
And they were there.
But Mark Ritter coming out in Davos today, seemingly being the person that could reassure Donald Trump and walk him back a little bit from the brink when it came to Denmark and Greenland.
That's a very good question.
I think essentially it just means that Europeans are in a position where they remain wary of where the transatlantic relationship stands right now.
That has reinforced perhaps some of their questions and doubts.
The fact that they are seeing very clearly that security and trade are linked, that tariffs are used as leverage even against countries
allies.
And I think it reinforces the idea that Donald Trump can be a very unpredictable leader.
And I think actually that unpredictable nature is making him seem and appear to be such a powerful negotiator on the world stage.
