\n Europe should manage its relationship with the United States to protect the partnership beyond the presidential term of Donald Trump, rather than seeking independence from the nation, according to the CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.\n <\/p>\n
\n Speaking with CNN\u2019s Rosemary Church on Wednesday, the organization\u2019s president Leslie Vinjamuri said that while she believes Trump is \u201cvery serious\u201d about his position on Greenland, the next step for Europe is \u201cmanaging and delaying and kicking this issue down the road\u201d for as long as possible.\n <\/p>\n
\n European leaders have scrambled to exercise damage control as Trump\u2019s threats of military action in Greenland, and tariffs on NATO nations who oppose him, have intensified. But Vinjamuri said this has been a challenge for Europe.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cEuropeans are clearly individually seeking to build resilience domestically to align with each other. That\u2019s been very difficult to do,\u201d the CEO said of Europe\u2019s effort to safeguard against the pressure leveraged by Trump.\n <\/p>\n
\n She added, \u201cThere\u2019s been real movement in Europe, but unfortunately, during this president\u2019s term, the likelihood that Europeans will develop the capabilities that they need \u2026 to be fully independent in a meaningful way from the United States is quite low.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Vinjamuri said Europe should concentrate on nurturing its relationship with powerful figures throughout the country who she said are both in and out of government, \u201cThose are the relationships that Europeans \u2026 should be focusing on, because this relationship will continue long past Donald Trump.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Trump is “very serious” about Greenland position, global affairs expert says US President Trump is “very…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423426,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[45,49,48,46,26791,165702],"class_list":{"0":"post-423425","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-economy","12":"tag-hnk","13":"tag-intl"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
