Denmark Launches Its EU Presidency Facing War in Ukraine and Trump Tariff Chaos
DENMARK, JUL 1 – Denmark begins its EU presidency with a focus on enhancing security, advancing enlargement negotiations, and managing the EU's long-term budget amid internal vetoes and geopolitical tensions.

- Trump's 90-day tariff pause ends on July 9 with no EU-U.S. trade deal in place as yet, requiring laying the groundwork for countries to buy the military equipment needed to execute NATO's defense plans with Trump's security priorities lying outside Europe.
