The US & China have entered a New Cold War.
China is backing /backed by Russia. The US is backed by its Atlantic & Pacific allies.
But this time the rest of the world is leveraging the contest to their benefit.
Some of the themes in my new book👇

In my new book👇I argue that the US-led international system is over.
Trump’s endless flip-flops on Ukraine, and his failed campaign against Iran, are the latest signals.
In response, ‘middle powers’ are on the rise, but don’t yet live up to the label.

Trump thinks he ratcheting up the pressure on Denmark / Europe to cede Greenland.
In fact, he has declared economic war against Europeans to force them to break the principle of national self-determination.
I don’t see Europeans ceding. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1j8…

www.bbc.co.uk Starmer tells Trump in phone call that plan to apply tariffs over Greenland 'wrong' The prime minister also tells the US president that security in the Arctic remains a priority "for all Nato allies".

Denmark and other Europeans argue the US doesn’t need to ‘own’ Greenland to make it safe. Protecting it from China and Russia can be done through NATO and the US-Denmark 1951
Treaty.

But this entirely misunderstands Trump’s thinking.
