UE si difendera' dai dazzi

 

 

Ci difenderemo con tutti gli strumenti possibili.

 

I Paesi di tutto il mondo sappiano che noi siamo pronti a difenderci".

Lo ha detto il cancelliere tedesco Friedrich Merz dopo il vertice intergovernativo tra Italia e Germania rispondendo a una domanda su possibili controdazi dell'Ue verso gli Stati Uniti. "Siamo in grado - ha aggiunto - di convocare il Consiglio europeo straordinario e l'azione dimostrata in questa settimana è la dimostrazione di quello che possiamo fare. Quello che era stata minacciato da Trump non è accaduto. Dobbiamo essere uniti e reagire in tempo reale. Meloni ed io siamo due premier fermamente convinti di fare tutto il possibile per l'Unione europea.

Davos The end of globalization

DAVOS, Switzerland — President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is dropping his threat to slap new tariffs on European nations in a fresh sign that he is prepared to reach a peaceful settlement to a tense standoff over the future of Greenland.

Trump announced on social media that after a private meeting with NATO's secretary general in Davos, Switzerland, he agreed to the "framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic region."

Trump gave no details, nor did he say he was abandoning his effort to wrest control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. Earlier Wednesday, Trump gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in which he said that the U.S. needs to absorb Greenland for global security reasons and that European countries need to meet the demand.

Senior administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff, will lead the negotiations over Greenland's fate and report back to him, Trump wrote.

Financial markets spiked at the news that Trump was ditching the 10% tariffs he said he would impose on eight European countries — part of a pressure campaign to gain possession of Greenland.

For now, Trump seems intent on a negotiated resolution to the Greenland dispute. In his speech, he said he won’t use military force to acquire Greenland, though he left no doubt that he still wants the U.S. to play a dominant role in Greenland's future.

China granted free entrance for 45 countries

China’s

China has made a groundbreaking move by granting visa-free access to citizens from 45 countries, including Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Latvia, Spain, Slovenia, Norway, and many others, paving the way for an era of unparalleled global mobility. This bold initiative aims to strengthen international ties, foster economic growth, and enhance tourism exchange by eliminating the need for visas for up to 30 days. The move is expected to drive a significant increase in travel, create new business opportunities, and deepen cultural connections between China and these countries, marking a major step forward in China’s commitment to global collaboration and open borders.

During a significant diplomatic visit to Beijing, the Canadian Prime Minister announced a major development for Canadian travelers: citizens will soon be able to enter China without requiring a visa. This announcement marks a significant shift in the bilateral relationship between Canada and China, with the move expected to further strengthen ties between the two nations.

Trump tariffs are unacceptable

A threat by US President Donald Trump to impose fresh tariffs on eight allies opposed to his proposed takeover of Greenland has drawn condemnation from European leaders.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the move was "completely wrong", while French President Emmanuel Macron called it "unacceptable".

The comments came after Trump announced a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland would come into force on 1 February, but could later rise to 25% - and would last until a deal was reached.

Trump insists the autonomous Danish territory is critical for US security and has not ruled out taking it by force.

Maduro arrestato da Trump

Con l'intervento in Venezuela, Donald Trump rispolvera e aggiorna la Dottrina Monroe, che si è impegnato a "riaffermare e far rispettare...

 

per ripristinare la preminenza americana nell'emisfero occidentale e per proteggere il Paese", come si legge nella sua nuova National Security Strategy all'insegna dell'America First.

La Dottrina Monroe, enunciata nel 1823 dal presidente James Monroe, rivendicava l'influenza statunitense nella regione, così come la successiva "diplomazia delle cannoniere" vista sotto Theodore Roosevelt all'inizio del Novecento. Si tratta di due pilastri storici dell'espansionismo e dell'interventismo Usa in America Latina, che riportano alla mente dolorosi ricordi di ingerenze passate e che sono fortemente osteggiati dai governi e dalle popolazioni della regione. La Dottrina Monroe nacque in un contesto in cui molte colonie latinoamericane stavano ottenendo l'indipendenza dalle potenze europee. Il principio cardine era sintetizzato nello slogan "l'America agli americani": gli Stati Uniti si arrogavano il diritto di considerare l'intero emisfero occidentale come una propria sfera d'influenza, avvertendo le potenze europee che qualsiasi tentativo di intervento o di ricolonizzazione sarebbe stato considerato un atto ostile. Formalmente presentata come una dottrina difensiva, essa divenne nel tempo uno strumento ideologico per giustificare l'ingerenza statunitense negli affari interni dei Paesi latinoamericani, oggi in gran parte fortemente legati a Cina e Russia.
