We’ve just been reporting events from the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. Europe-based journalist Alistair Bunkall is currently in Brussels as European leaders arrive for their summit.

“The last 24 hours in Davos have changed things,” he says.

“It’s taken the heat out of things here tonight. I don’t think it’s necessarily taking the significance out of tonight.

“The mood has changed in Europe, it really has. 

“There is a feeling that European leaders need to be united and they need to just take a tougher stance, generally, with the US president. 

“And of course, they really do realise that they need to be more self-reliant.”

‘When Europe is not divided, the results will show’

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is among the European leaders in Brussels today for an emergency EU meeting.

Stopping to speak to reporters, she says she’s grateful for all the support Denmark has received from its European allies in the last week.

She adds: “When Europe is not divided, when we stand together and when we are clear and strong, also in our willingness to stand up for ourselves, the results will show.”

EU leaders arrive in Brussels for emergency summit

EU leaders are starting to gather for an emergency summit on Greenland in Brussels.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is among those arriving for the meeting, along with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the summit, Merz says he was grateful for Donald Trump’s change of position on Greenland yesterday.

NATO is the most successful stage between the EU and US, he adds.

Poland’s Prime Minster Donald Tusk and Irish Taoiseach Michael Martin have also arrived for the talks.

Analysis: NATO better equipped for Arctic security than US

Sky News military analyst Michael Clarke has been assessing where Donald Trump’s U-turn on Greenland leaves security in the Arctic. 

“NATO – the non the non-US bits of NATO –  have got a better story to tell on Arctic security than the United States,” he says.

“The Scandinavian countries have got the icebreakers which the United States doesn’t have. The US has only got three not very adequate ones.

“The Brits have got a marine Corps who are trained specifically to operate in the Arctic.

“So the European members of NATO are far better placed to secure the Arctic from the growing challenges of the ice melts than the United States is, at the moment.”
