In an interview with Euronews at Davos on Tuesday, Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot strongly criticised US President Donald Trump’s plans to take “complete and total control” of Greenland, the self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. “Frankly speaking, the attitude of the US is incomprehensible and unnecessarily hostile,” Prévot said on Euronews’ interview programme 12 Minutes With. Trump has stepped up his threats to seize Greenland in recent days and has not ruled out taking it by force. Asked about Washington’s disregard for European leaders’ response, he said there is “no rational explanation”. “But being blackmailed and threatening allies…

They call it “the great workforce adaptation”: it may be one of the strongest job trends of 2026 and is already reshaping the way many people go about their careers. According to Randstad’s 2026 Workmonitor, launched today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, more than one in three workers believe that traditional career paths are no longer fit for dealing with the job market’s upheavals. Interestingly, 72% of employers themselves say that they agree with this vision. The result is that 25% of talent is now aiming for a portfolio career, meaning they switch jobs and sectors as their…

For the past four years, European leaders have been working overtime to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russia’s war of aggression, often putting together strongly worded statements of condemnation, holding phone calls at late hours and getting together for hastily convened crisis meetings. But this past weekend, the script flipped in dramatic fashion. European leaders found themselves doing the exact same thing – joint statements, phone calls and crisis meetings – to defend Denmark’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against a country that, on paper, is supposed to be their time-honoured ally and main security guarantor: the United States.…

According to the European Commission’s latest data (2024), the EU currently imports 95% of its rare earth materials, which are crucial for electric vehicles, daily technology and defence systems. Recycling rates remain below 1%, and although the bloc has set a series of goals for 2030, it is unlikely to meet them without major acceleration. This means that the very technologies meant to enable Europe’s green transition depend on other countries, leaving the EU highly exposed to economies such as China and Russia. Whilst global competitors are tightening their grip on supply chains, Europe is lagging in securing access to…

Key transport projects intended to increase connectivity of people and goods across the European Union by 2030 are well behind schedule despite the €15.3 billion invested from EU funds since 2020, the latest report from the European Court of Auditors (ECA) published on Monday reveals. The bloc’s legislation designed to improve transport networks, the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), was adopted in 2013, but suffered major setbacks first from the COVID pandemic and then Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which led to a massive surge in energy and construction prices. The EU auditors write that the eight megaprojects previously assessed in…

As pressure mounts to calibrate a joint European Union response to the United States’s threats over Greenland, EU leaders with ties to US President Donald Trump have yet to push back hard against his latest statements. Trump threatened on Saturday to impose a 10% extra tariff on goods from European countries that oppose the sale of the Arctic island to the US, and warned that if the US has not been allowed to purchase Greenland by June 1, the rate will be hiked to 25%. As the EU scrambles for ways to deal with the situation, the process of reaching…

A clip shared on X and Instagram shows Polish President Karol Nawrocki promoting an investment platform called Bitcoin Trader AI. In the clip, the president allegedly says: “Exactly after midnight today is the last chance to become part of the government’s Bitcoin Trader AI programme.” However, this clip has been taken out of context and was likely altered using AI. A reverse image search shows that the original video was posted by Karol Nawrocki in November 2025, during which he justified using his veto power and asked the government to consult him on early-stage draft bills. Nawrocki, a member of…

Over the past decade, with the rapid rise of digital technologies and their integration into everyday life, online spaces and digital tools have offered opportunities for connection and information. However, technology-facilitated violence against women and girls has also grown significantly. More than 90% of deepfake videos online are pornographic in nature, with women almost exclusively the target, according to a 2023 Security Hero report. Across Europe, cyberstalking, surveillance, and the use of spyware were the most common forms of cyberviolence reported by women and girls, according to the latest Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE) report. WAVE is a network of…

European Union leaders are gearing up for a crunch week as they seek to defuse an escalating tariff conflict with the United States over Greenland, while also readying a response should US President Donald Trump impose additional tariffs on six member states on 1 February. In a meeting in Brussels on Sunday, EU ambassadors called on their colleagues to give dialogue and diplomacy with the US administration a chance before resorting to retaliation. The EU executive also outlined the range of retaliatory tools available to the bloc. One diplomat said that shuttle diplomacy this week could help convince Trump of…
