Germany hosts North Sea summit as Europe keeps a weary eye on Arctic tensions
""We will have to pay increased attention to all parts of NATO's European territory,""
""This concerns the North above all.""
""framework""
European leaders meet in Hamburg to advance cross-border expansion of offshore wind, the hydrogen market, and interconnected offshore infrastructure in the North and Baltic Seas. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hosts the talks days after US President Donald Trump backed away from a threat to seize Greenland and to level punitive tariffs against European NATO allies. Trump said he had reached a "framework" agreement with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, but the details remain undisclosed. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen visited Greenland. Attendees include NATO, the European Commission, Iceland and several European governments. Security concerns include sabotage, surveillance and so‑called hybrid attacks widely blamed on Russia.
