Dessverre er det få som ser hva som foregår bak retorikken. USA planlegger en aksjon mot EU i sommer, de har rigget seg strategisk og juridisk. Det kan bli alvorlig om EU ikke endrer taktikk, USA kan komme til å strupe olje og gass leveranser til EU, les alle detaljene i dette komplekse bildet her; samfunnogpolitikk.no/no/utenrikspol…

Spot on Mette Frederiksen. Men det vigtige i at se mod Europa startede altså ikke med Trump.

This is one of the in Trump’s plan for a confrontation with the EU this summer. Key legal deadlines are June 1 and July 24—within that window, the conflict between the EU and the U.S. will be decided. If the EU doesn’t bend, the U.S. could move to restrict oil and gas supplies from Norway to the EU. Read all the details here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

EXCLUSIVE: Nearly half of EU exports containing steel and aluminum are at risk of higher U.S. duties under Donald Trump’s latest tariff overhaul, according to an early European Commission assessment. politico.eu/article/nearly…

@scuff7 @KerryBurgess This is Norway and afraid we end up in Russia, you didn't get the point.

@SocAndPol @KerryBurgess

President Trump is doing one hell of a lot of talking about considering withdrawing troops from Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. When is he going to stop talking and actually do it? No one in Europe is forcing or asking the US to stay, pack up your stuff, close the bases, and go home. It's that simple, and we all wish you the best.

This is what Trump wants—he’s building toward a confrontation with the EU this summer, and European leaders are unwittingly playing along. The U.S. has positioned itself legally, and a showdown is coming between June 1 and July 24—when it will be decided. If the EU doesn’t bend, the U.S. could move to restrict oil and gas flows from Norway to the EU. Read all the details here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

German Chancellor Merz complained about online anonymity, saying it is unfortunate that people can say what they think in a way that is "hard to bear" for him

A confrontation—and a decisive moment—between the EU and the U.S. is coming this summer. Trump is driving it, with unwitting support from European leaders. The U.S. could move to restrict oil and gas supplies from Norway to the EU. Read the legal groundwork and full details here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

Donald Trump’s attempts to project swagger 16 months after he launched his second term with a vow to deliver a 'golden age' for America are increasingly falling flat. ft.trib.al/M9oirXn

@KoskovicsZ @POTUS European leaders are focused on rhetoric while Trump is setting up a confrontation with the EU this summer. The U.S. has positioned itself legally and could move to restrict oil and gas supplies from Norway to the EU. Read all the details here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

There was one European leader that could talk to @POTUS. ONE. Brussels putsched him. They don't not want to talk. They think Trump is the enemy. They want him to fail. It is very important that you all understand that. Because this is a big part of the tragedy that is coming.

@FromTheBigBang While European leaders spiral, Trump is preparing a strategic and legal confrontation with the EU this summer. This could lead to a move where the U.S. restricts oil and gas supplies from Norway to the EU. Read all the details here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

🇪🇺 ⚠️ European leaders are pushing back against U.S. demands, placing unprecedented political strain on NATO. While the military structure remains intact, the underlying political trust is evaporating. NATO is surviving on muscle memory while the political brain of the alliance is in a coma.

European leaders are handing power to Trump—and he’s exploiting it. Trump is setting the stage for a confrontation between the EU and the U.S. this summer (June 1 to July 24). It will likely impact oil shipments from Norway to the EU. Read all the details on how the U.S. has positioned itself strategically and legally here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

This is the moment for Europe to understand that U.S. and European foreign policy have not been aligned since the fall of the USSR. The U.S. prioritizes military dominance. Europe’s core interests are different: trade, cheap energy, and economic growth. The EU must build its own defense system, a real army, and an independent foreign policy — one that protects European interests, not American ones.

Donald Trump has said he would “probably” remove American troops from Spain and Italy, in renewed attacks on Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez and Italian leader Giorgia Meloni. politico.eu/article/donald…

@bearskinneck999 @KerryBurgess We sure should, just analyzing what's really going on behind the bad rhetorics.

@SocAndPol @KerryBurgess We can have trade and economic development agreements without war, threats of war, and hateful rhetoric

Probably not—this is a strategic game, and Merz stepped into the trap. A confrontation between the EU and the U.S. is coming between June 1 and July 24, with Norwegian oil to Europe involved. The EU will back down. Read all the details on the strategic and legal preparations by the Trump administration: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

Ya es casi definitivo, EEUU retirará de Alemania, España e Italia a las fuerzas militares destinadas a la defensa de Europa. 🇺🇸🔥🇪🇺 - Trump: ¿Por qué no debería? Italia no nos ha servido de ninguna ayuda. Y España ha estado horrible, absolutamente horrible. Los hemos ayudado con Ucrania. - Lo que ha molestado en Washington no es tanto el hecho de que Europa se haya mantenido fuera del tema del desminado del Estrecho de Ormuz, sino que se le haya limitado, o directamente prohibido a las fuerzas militares de EEUU el uso de bases aéreas y puertos de esos países, e incluso el sobrevuelo de sus espacios aéreos. - Una verdadera bofetada en el rostro a quien ha pagado la mayor parte del costo de la defensa de Europa durante décadas.

@POLITICOEurope Merz misread the game and is dragging Europe down with him. This is the game: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has spent months walking a tightrope in his dealings with Donald Trump. Now he appears to have fallen off. 🔗 politico.eu/article/german…

@StephenGrove19 @USAmbNATO Not everybody has the stamina to read, thats ok.

@SocAndPol @USAmbNATO Its not a good start though.

With the NATO Alliance, it’s a two way street. The U.S. wants Allies who will show up when we need support.

@StephenGrove19 @USAmbNATO You’ll miss out on whats coming up, your choice.

@SocAndPol @USAmbNATO I stopped once I read "Europe and Norway". Where do the writers believe Norway is?

@BohuslavskaKate Trump is playing both Europe and Russia. US is rigged strategic and juridical for a confrontation with EU this summer, and the EU will bend. Read all the detailes; samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

KALLAS: Russia gearing up its military for long-term confrontation with West. Whether Putin dares to test NATO at some point depends entirely on us. Deterrence works if it's credible, showing weakness only invites aggression. We must continue to strengthen European defence.

@warsurv Trump is playing a strategic game to bring Europe to its knees—and he’s succeeding. A confrontation is coming between June 1 and July 24, where Europe will have no choice but to back down. Read the details; samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

🇺🇸🇪🇸🇮🇹🇩🇪 Trump Considers Major Troop Pullback Trump signals potential withdrawal of US forces from Spain and Italy, adding to tensions after criticism of Germany, saying key allies “were not there” when needed.

BREAKING: President Trump says he will leave NATO, calling it dead organization.

"If it's so important for Europe, then European countries should pay for it... The threat is much closer to the rich and capable countries in Europe." - Pete Hegseth During a congressional hearing, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth articulated a blunt shift in US policy, Europe must now take the lead in funding Ukraine’s military aid. Hegseth argued that since the Russian threat is geographically "much closer" to European borders, the responsibility for regional security naturally falls on the "RICH and CAPABLE " nations of the continent. This stance signals a move toward radical strategic burden-sharing. By framing the conflict as an existential issue for Europe rather than a primary financial obligation for Washington, the Pentagon is pressuring NATO allies to leverage their own economic power. This policy shift aims to decrease American expenditures while forcing European leaders to prioritize strategic autonomy and defense industrial growth. Hegseth’s message is unambiguous if European stability is at stake, the financial commitment must reflect that proximity. The era of the US serving as the primary bankroll for European defense is transitioning toward a model of regional self-sufficiency.
