Kaja Kallas — High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

Summary

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas discusses Greenland, NATO, EU-US trade tensions, Ukraine, and EU outreach to India with Bloomberg. She argues Greenlanders want to remain with Denmark/EU, Arctic security can be addressed through NATO, and the EU-US trade deal process has stalled amid doubts about US stability. Kallas says Ukraine remains the core security risk and that Europe must become more unified and self-confident while diversifying partnerships.

  • Kallas says Greenland's future should be decided by Greenlanders and supports Danish sovereignty.
  • She views Arctic security as a NATO matter, while territorial and critical raw materials issues belong to Denmark and Greenland.
  • The European Parliament has halted the EU-US trade deal process amid concerns over stability and guarantees.
  • Kallas says Ukraine is the real security priority and Russia has not shown willingness for peace.
  • She points to EU efforts to deepen trade and security-defense ties with India and other partners.
  • She says transatlantic relations have changed but Europe does not want to discard 80 years of ties.
  • She calls for European unity, self-confidence, and readiness for unpredictable scenarios.
