But Donald Trump isn't listening.
Denmark and Greenland have tried repeatedly.
to get a meeting with Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, throughout last year.
They've tried again.
But Donald Trump seems absolutely intent.
And the thing is, if we have a look at how European leaders have dealt with Donald Trump since his re-election into office, they tend to try to manage him rather than confront him.
They don't want to risk his ire.
And right now they really, really need his buy-in over Ukraine because we had a very big meeting.
I was there in Paris on Tuesday talking about future security guarantees for Ukraine to ensure its sovereignty after aggression with Russia ends.
Yeah, it was signed by six leaders.
I mean, they are major European powers and were supported by several more countries who sort of expressed their support for that communique online.
However, absolutely, this communique was issued on the sidelines of that Ukraine meeting at which there were so many European leaders present.
But as you say, only six signed that communique.
And that goes back to what I was saying about how different European countries are dealing with Donald Trump.
Often, if you look particularly at the UK or Italy, safeguarding what they believe are special bilateral relations with Donald Trump.
And despite promising to invest in their own defences, they do still heavily rely on Washington for air capabilities, for example, command and control for intelligence.
And Washington knows this full well.
the re-election of Donald Trump marks what's perhaps the most uncertain moment in the history of the NATO military alliance. Well, that is, since the last time he was president. But that was before large-scale warfare returned to Europe with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, aided militarily and otherwise by North Korea, Iran and China.
NATO is a transatlantic military alliance and it's largely funded by the United States. But America first Donald Trump thinks it's a very bad deal.
With Ukraine on the back foot against Moscow and European security in jeopardy, NATO has got a new chief, Mark Rutter, who's been dubbed the Trump whisperer. In his first major speech in his new job, he's called for NATO members to switch to a wartime mindset and seriously boost defence spending. Can he save NATO by persuading the incoming US president to stay on board?
