00:30President Emmanuel Macron has told the World Economic Forum in Davos.
00:35European leaders are increasingly concerned about the risk of a looming trade war,
00:39one that could push key industries to the brink, as well, of course, as the future of Greenland.
00:45Ahead of his arrival, President Trump briefed the press,
00:49insisting he has done more for NATO than any other leader.
00:52After a glitch on his plane forced a quick turn back,
00:55the U.S. President is now safely en route to Davos,
00:58where many hope he will reconsider his stance on Greenland and tariffs.
01:04For more on all this, I'm joined here in the studio by Eurie News' Alice Tidy,
01:08who's been live blogging all week on all that's going on there in the World Economic Forum in Davos.
01:13All eyes, of course, on Donald Trump today. What should we expect, Alice?
01:16Yes, so he's expected to speak in the early afternoon,
01:19but overnight he doubled down once more on the fact that he wants the U.S. to annex Greenland.
01:25He said that things are working out.
01:30He expects things to work out pretty well.
01:33And when asked how far he's willing to go, he replied, you'll find out.
01:37So that's fairly ominous.
01:39But he will have a lot of meetings in Davos behind closed doors.
01:44He agreed to these meetings.
01:45He said he told Rutter he agreed to these meetings earlier this week with various parties.
01:50So we'll see what come out of these meetings.
01:52Well, of course, everybody wants FaceTime with the U.S. President Donald Trump.
01:55We understand as well that the Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
01:58travelled to Strasbourg last night,
02:00where MEPs, of course, are gathering to deliver a speech this morning.
02:03But we'll head back to Davos today.
02:05Do the Europeans have a plan here, Alice?
02:07Well, there have been many European leaders in Davos already, and Vidiel is one of them.
02:13She was very clear that Europe would be unflinching in its response
02:16should Trump move ahead with his plan to slap an additional 10% of tariffs on eight European countries.
02:22Then, of course, we had the French President Emmanuel Macron,
02:25who also said that Europe prefers respect to bullies
02:28and that it has very strong tools at its disposal and that it should learn to use them.
02:33But those are just two leaders, and the EU, as we know, has 27 leaders.
02:37So it remains to be seen whether or not we can find a united position at 27.
02:41And, of course, an emergency talks are taking place right here in Brussels tomorrow night.
02:46We'll also be keeping a very close eye on that.
02:48But you did mention Emmanuel Macron, Alice.
02:50Let's actually take a listen to what he had to say in Davos,
02:53and also Bart de Wever, the Belgian Prime Minister.
02:56Europe has very strong tools now, and we have to use them when we are not respected,
03:02and when the rules of the game are not respected, by the way.
03:06The anti-coercion mechanism is a powerful instrument,
03:09and we should not hesitate to deploy it in today's tough environment.
03:13Until now, we tried to appease the new president in the White House.
03:19But now, so many red lines are being crossed that you have the choice between your self-respect.
03:27Being a happy vessel is one thing.
03:29Being a miserable slave is something else.
03:30If you back down now, you're going to lose your dignity.
03:36So, tough talk there from a number of European leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
03:41But now we can head to the European Parliament in Strasbourg,
03:44where MEPs are meeting this week,
03:47and where this growing diplomatic crisis between the European Union and also the United States is being felt.
03:53A vote on a resolution on EU-US relations has been postponed,
03:57in order, of course, to reflect the latest developments.
04:00Euronews' correspondent, Vincenzo Genovese, is on the grind.
04:03Good morning, Vincenzo.
04:07Good morning, Maeve. Good morning for Strasbourg.
04:10Yes, indeed, as you said, Donald Trump's ambition to annex Greenland
04:14and his threats to impose tariffs on European countries
04:18are dominating this plenary session of the European Parliament.
04:22We are here today with Valérie Ayer.
04:24She is the chair, the president of Renew Europe,
04:28one of the political groups of the Parliament.
04:30Good morning.
04:31Thank you for being with us.
04:33How do you should respond to Trump?
04:35We should be strong and stronger than we have been until now.
04:40We should acknowledge that the appeasement strategy is over
04:44and that we should now play hardball,
04:47because Donald Trump only understands the balance of power
04:51and the language of strength.
04:54Play hardball, what does it mean in concrete?
04:56Which tools the European Union have to care to be strong against Trump?
05:02We have different tools that we should use to pass,
05:07to go from appeasement to deterrence.
05:10I think deterrence is key vis-à-vis Donald Trump.
05:13We have already decided not to vote the Turnberry Agreement.
05:18Do you know this EU-US deal that has been signed last year in Turnberry?
05:24We decided not to vote, to postpone it and not to vote it.
05:28So first tool that we've already used.
05:30We have different tools from an economical point of view.
05:33We could decide new tariffs.
05:35We could decide to sell American debt.
05:38Do you know that we have quite more than 1 billion,
05:42trillion dollars of American debt?
05:45And we could also use the anti-coercion mechanism
05:48that has never been used until now.
05:50Do you see any unity, any appetite to trigger these tools?
05:55I must tell you that I'm quite worried
05:59because I see in some groups some appetite to play hardball,
06:04but I see also in other groups, also in pro-European groups,
06:08some people who said just keep calm, keep calm.
06:11But we have been keep calm and we have been calm
06:13until the very one day, the very first day with Donald Trump
06:17and we have to acknowledge that it doesn't work.
06:21Yes.
06:22Can you imagine other way of retaliate or use leverage against Donald Trump?
06:28In this case, I was writing, for example,
06:31the possibility that European countries can boycott the FIFA World Cup.
06:35Is this an idea that you will support?
06:37Yes, why not?
06:38We can use all the possible leverage.
06:40This is a very symbolic one with the FIFA World Cup.
06:44I think we also have to be clear right now that we have this economical leverage
06:50and that we are ready to use it.
06:53Nightmare scenario.
06:54Donald Trump decides to invade Greenland.
06:57It's a nightmare scenario, but it's not that impossible at this stage.
07:02What can the European Union do in this case?
07:05We have everything should be on the table, of course, linked and decided
07:09with our Danish and Greenland friends, of course, but we should be ready.
07:15Do you know that Greenland is under Article 42.7 from the teachers?
07:21So this mutual defense clause, no ambiguity on that.
07:25So we should be ready for a clear military and economical sanction on that.
07:32But why am I talking about deterrence?
07:35To avoid that situation.
07:37We have to be strong now to avoid that situation.
07:39Let's see.
07:40Thank you very much, Valérie Ayer.
07:41Let's see if this could be the way.
07:44Thank you very much.
07:46We'll keep you posted from here, from Strasbourg.
07:48Maif.
07:49Thank you so much, Vincenzo Ginovese.
07:50And to your guest there, Valérie Ayer, the head of Renew Europe, the liberal group in
07:54the European Parliament.
07:55But of course, the action is not in Strasbourg this week.
07:58It's really in Davos, where all eyes, of course, are on President Donald Trump's speech
08:02that will be delivered a little bit later.
08:03For more on what's going on there, we can bring in now your news as EU editor, Maria
08:07Tudai.
08:08Good morning, Maria.
08:09Great to have you with us.
08:10What is the latest?
08:12Absolutely.
08:13Absolutely.
08:14Good morning.
08:14And of course, it is a big day because today the President of the US will address Davos and
08:19Maif, we can also report that the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
08:23has left Davos.
08:25But we understand she will be back by lunchtime, hoping to get some FaceTime with the US President.
08:31Of course, this amidst tensions over Greenland.
08:33But now, to debrief, we are joined by Nadia Calvino.
08:37Of course, she is the President of the European Investment Bank.
08:41President, thank you very much.
08:43The last time we spoke, you said, I'm very proud to be European.
08:46It's been a month, and it seems to me the situation is not getting easier.
08:51It is getting much worse.
08:52What are you expecting from the US President today?
08:55Well, what I see in Davos is that this is a place for dialogue, and people are eager to
09:00talk, to find ways, to find agreements, and to find a way forward that can preserve peace
09:06and a constructive outcome.
09:09And from this point of view, I am very proud to be European.
09:11I think that from the European point of view, our approach is very clear.
09:16We have to be pragmatic when we can, but also firm when we must.
09:21And, of course, at 3 p.m., when the President of the US walks these stairs and he enters the
09:26main hall, are you worried, concerned?
09:28We saw a Munich Security Conference.
09:30It was brutal for the Europeans.
09:32Is that what you're prepping for?
09:33Well, I think that we can be ready for anything.
09:36And we have seen the preparatory speeches.
09:39But more importantly than whatever is said here today, I think, is what we do as Europeans.
09:45So I think the summit, the European Council on Thursday, is really critical in the sense
09:50and historic in the sense that we need to show the superpower we are.
09:55To me, that's a very interesting line, because you're saying, let's not focus so much on
09:58the U.S., let's focus on what we get wrong and what we do wrong.
10:01What does that mean?
10:03We are a superpower, and we have to be aware of it.
10:06You know, if we had any doubt, it's clear that why would the President of the United States
10:11spend so much time and so much energy to attack the European Union?
10:16Well, because united, we are unbeatable.
10:18So, and I think that's the spirit with which I will participate in the different panels
10:23in a very intense agenda here at Davos.
10:26And can I ask you, you say, we have to be firm.
10:28What does that mean?
10:29Because there's been a lot of debate around now using the big trade gun, and that means
10:33really going after the access that U.S. companies have in Europe.
10:36Is it the time now to really put the strong measures, even if there's a retaliation, on the table?
10:42This is now the time to trigger it.
10:44Well, I wouldn't comment on the individual or the specific instruments.
10:47There is a broad range of instruments that the European Union can use to show that we're serious.
10:53I think so far messages have been crystal clear coming from President von der Leyen,
10:59the presidents of the different institutions, and also leaders of the different member states.
11:04And united, we are determined, I think, to establish that there are some boundaries that cannot be crossed.
11:11When you mean there's some boundaries that cannot be crossed, what does that mean?
11:13Is that in terms of democracy?
11:15We're fighting for democracy.
11:17We're fighting for our values.
11:18We're fighting for peace.
11:20We're fighting for the European Union.
11:22We're fighting for global stability.
11:24We're also fighting for a world order based on win-win partnerships and mutual respect.
11:29Because partnerships go both ways, you know.
11:32It takes two to tango.
11:34And from the European Union perspective, I think that we have a clear approach to continue to support these principles.
11:39This is a good fight.
11:41And I have to tell you, from the European Investment Bank Group, we're all in.
11:45And just very briefly, yesterday the French president said we're now becoming or turning into a world of force.
11:50It is a world where might obviously meets now or beats reason.
11:54Is that what you were, very briefly, that the world has changed?
11:56The world is changing.
11:58I mean, Prime Minister Carney yesterday said very clearly, we're not in a transition.
12:02We are in a rupture.
12:04We are in a transition.
12:06And that's Maria Tadeo there.
12:07You're in use as EU editor speaking to Nadia Calvino, the head of the European Investment Bank.
12:12But one issue getting far less attention this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos is Gaza and the ongoing suffering there.
12:20Our Jacobianos has been taking a look at Donald Trump's plans for the region.
12:26Do you have a gym membership or a loyalty card in your wallet?
12:31Well, Donald Trump just launched the ultimate club.
12:35It's called the Board of Peace.
12:38The official goal?
12:39To end the war in Gaza.
12:41But is it really?
12:44The leaked charter suggests it's actually a rival to the UN, with Trump as the chairman and Vladimir Putin on the guest list.
12:53And just like an exclusive country club, there is an entry fee.
12:58And if you want a permanent seat, that will be $1 billion in cash.
13:03If you don't pay, your membership expires in three years.
13:07France looked at the price tag and the very fact that it undermines the United Nations and said, no, merci.
13:17But Trump did not take the rejection well.
13:20He threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines.
13:25So do the math.
13:27That bottle of champagne you buy for $50 could soon cost you $150.
13:33It is also much easier for autocrats than democracies to join in.
13:40A dictator can just wire the money.
13:43And here in the EU, Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, just reminded the invited president, you can't just buy a seat.
13:52You need parliament's permission.
13:55Finally, in politics, silence is often louder than what you say.
14:00And the leaked charter for the Gaza Peace Board doesn't even mention the word Gaza.
14:05So until I find a spare billion to join the club, peace out.
14:14Jacob Janos there.
14:16And for more on Davos, do visit our website, eerienews.com.
14:19But that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
14:21Thank you so much for tuning in.
