DIVIDE ET IMPERA
If you
want to rule a pack of wolves, convince half of them that they're dogs.
Donald Trump's strategy has emerged as an existential
challenge to the architecture of the European Union and the pillars of
globalization, using the Greenland issue not only as a territorial target but
as the ultimate lever of economic pressure.
Trump aims to replace global trade rules with a series
of asymmetric bilateral agreements. The goal is to "destroy" the
European Union as a unified negotiating bloc. By dealing separately with
nations like the United Kingdom (through the 2025 Economic Prosperity
Agreement) and offering preferential terms to some EU member states, Washington
aims to undermine the cohesion of the single market.
The "Council for Peace": Recently mentioned in
Davos (January 2026), this new body proposed by Trump suggests a worldview in
which stability is guaranteed by power pacts between great powers, ignoring
supranational institutions like the UN or the WTO.
The extraordinary summit of EU leaders reiterated that
Greenland's sovereignty is a "red line." However, the opening of
negotiating channels on mineral rights and military cooperation suggests that
Trump is gaining, if not territorial possession, then de facto control over the
island's critical resources (rare earths and missile infrastructure).
The
European Union must understand that winter is too cold for a lone wolf, while a
united pack sees the eyes of its enemies hidden in the darkness of the forest.
The idea of a Europe leaving NATO and
capable
of defending itself, freed from the protective umbrella of the US and equipped
with a united military force, must mature as a political and military act.
In short, Trump's strategy is the controlled
demolition of the liberal order to rebuild a system based on economic and
military strength where the United States operates as a "sovereign
arbiter" that grants access to its economy only in exchange for tangible
geopolitical concessions.
