Europe Today: Former EU’s ‘digital tsar’ discusses Greenland, Iran, Big Tech

All eyes on Greenland. The government has said it cannot accept Donald Trump’s desire to take control of their island. For now, NATO’s secretary general, Mark Rutte is avoiding the issue, piling praise on Donald Trump and insisting the alliance is working on ways to bolster Arctic security. This as -US Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepares to meet Danish and Greenlandish diplomats tomorrow. Our EU editor Maria Tadeo explains what all this means for NATO.

Then we are joined by former EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager, the ‘tax lady’, as Donald Trump labelled her. She shares her insights on the U.S. threat to take Greenland by force, the protests in Iran, and Big Tech.

We are also in France today, where far-right leader Marine Le Pen is starting a crucial appeal in court today that will determine whether she can run in next year’s presidential elections or not. Marine le Pen was convicted last year for allegedly misusing European Union funding to pay her party staff back home as MEP assistants here in Brussels. Our Euronews correspondent Sophia Khatsenkova reports from Paris.

And last but not least, we look at Iran: The European Parliament has responded to the attacks on peaceful protestors by banning Iranian diplomats and the EU as a whole is eyeing more sanctions. Jakub Janas takes a look at how the international community could act.
