Abstract

This panel examines the impact of Donald Trump’s second presidency on the transatlantic relationship, Greenland, and the wider international system. The papers explore US foreign policy towards Greenland and its implications for Greenlandic independence, Danish solidarity, and transatlantic relations. They also consider Trump’s use of trade measures towards China and the relationship between personalised decision-making and broader consequences for the international system. Together, the papers assess how Trump 2.0 is reshaping US–European relations, territorial politics, trade policy, and the international order.
