“We have to wake up,” says Benjamin Haddad

Guest of the Grand Rendez-vous Europe 1/Cnews/Les Echos, Benjamin Haddad returned to Donald Trump’s statements concerning Greenland. For the minister responsible for Europe, this is a sign that the “rules of the game are changing”, and that it is time for Europeans to “wake up”.

He judges that these questions “should not be treated lightly”. Recently elected, but not yet invested, Donald Trump has been increasing his belligerent declarations for several days, particularly against Greenland, a territory that he would eventually like to annex. A warning signal for Benjamin Haddad.

“Rules of the game that are changing”

“What we see, I think in the United States at the moment, is a mixture of 19th century geopolitics, that is to say unbridled power struggles, a desire for conquest, a form of “aggressiveness… We are leaving international law, so we are returning to the logic of the law of the strongest with the technological tools of the 21st century”, analysis at the microphone of Grand Rendez-vous Europe 1/Cnews/Les Echos, the minister responsible for Europe.

Faced with “the rules of the game which are changing”, “we Europeans cannot remain stuck in 20th century software which is completely outdated”, he adds. “We need to wake up, it’s really time for Europeans to wake up strategically.”
