Un F-16 ukrainien aurait été abattu par l’armée russe. C’est ce que prétendent plusieurs internautes pro-russes qui partagent une photographie d’un avion en feu et une vidéo de sa destruction. Mais ces images sont factices et, jusqu’à présent, la destruction d’un F-16 de l’armée de l’air de l’Ukraine n’a pas été confirmée de manière indépendante.

Denmark’s leaders are trying their hand at “soft-power diplomacy” as they host a US delegation in Copenhagen, Danish journalist Trine Villemann told FRANCE 24.

Cette semaine, nous recevons Hadja Lahbib, commissaire européenne à la gestion des crises et à l’égalité. Guerres en Ukraine et à Gaza, manifestations en Iran ou tensions entre les Vingt-Sept et les États-Unis, elle commente les multiples conflits et crises face auxquels l’UE doit réagir.

For US President Donald Trump, mocking a country or a leader is not just a reality TV-style soundbite, it is an early warning sign of military action. Trump scorned Nicolas Maduro for « playing tough » before snatching the Venezuelan leader. Now he contemptuously talks of Denmark « adding two more dogsleds » to defend Greenland. European countries do appear to be taking this latest threat seriously, but can they actually stop Trump from taking over Greenland? And how do they navigate this crisis when they also have to stay focused on Ukraine? We put these questions to Rasmus Jarlov, chair of the defence committee in the Danish parliament.

Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Sophie Arts, Programme Officer at the German Marshall Fund’s Geostrategy North team. In a time of heightened geopolitical crises across the globe, Greenland has emerged as a symbol of a new post WWII order and an alliance facing an existential threat. Ms. Arts speaks of a dynamic power landscape best addressed through dialogue, transparency, and multilateral frameworks. Ms. Arts asserts that NATO’s 76-year-old alliance has an « opportunity to transform that challenging rhetoric into a stronger and more unified NATO. »

A majority of EU member states have voted in favour of a landmark free trade deal with Latin American countries. The Mercosur agreement has been 25 years in the making, and its supporters are adamant that it will assert Europe’s geostrategic position and benefit consumers. But despite the green light from the EU Council, Mercosur continues to face opposition from countries such as France, as well as from many farmers in the EU. Meanwhile, the European Parliament still has to have its final say. We discuss the deal with two MEPs.

A bipartisan US Congress delegation began a visit to Copenhagen on Friday to voice support for Denmark and Greenland after US President Donald Trump threatened to take over the Arctic island, an autonomous Danish territory. The two-day visit comes alongside a European show of support in the form of a military reconnaissance mission to Greenland. FRANCE 24’s Kethevane Gorjestani brings you this analysis.

Les eurodéputés sont aux premières loges des manifestations d’agriculteurs, organisées depuis des semaines devant le Parlement, place du Luxembourg. Les éleveurs de toute l’Europe protestent contre l’accord de libre-échange conclu entre l’Union européenne et les pays du Mercosur en Amérique du Sud. Un accord en discussion depuis 25 ans, qui prévoit la suppression de 90 % des droits de douane entre les deux continents, créant un immense marché de 700 millions de consommateurs.

Une délégation bipartisane du Congrès américain a entamé vendredi 16 janvier à Copenhague une visite de soutien au Danemark et au Groenland face aux convoitises de Donald Trump, nouveau geste en faveur du territoire arctique après l’envoi d’une mission militaire européenne de reconnaissance. L’analyse de David Delos, chroniqueur interntional de France 24.

Depuis le début de son mandat, le Premier ministre groenlandais Jens-Frederik Nielsen compose avec les pressions américaines. Voici son portrait.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian homes are either entirely without heating, or with severely reduced heating. This, as temperatures rarely rise above minus 10. It’s the result of Russia’s campaign of drone and missile attacks on the country’s energy facilities, which Volodymyr Zelensky says Moscow has deliberately intensified to coincide with the cold weather. FRANCE 24’s Gulliver Cragg reports.

Depuis le début de son mandat, le Premier ministre groenlandais Jens-Frederik Nielsen compose avec les pressions américaines. Voici son portrait.

En « désaccord fondamental » avec les Etats-Unis, le Danemark a obtenu jeudi 15 décembre, l’envoi d’une mission militaire européenne au Groenland, territoire autonome danois convoité par Donald Trump, qui a fait savoir que ce déploiement n’avait « aucun impact » sur son « objectif ».

Alors que Donald Trump envisage de s’emparer du Groenland par la voie militaire, les chaînes de télévision russes se réjouissent de l’avènement d’un « monde nouveau », où le droit international cède le pas à la loi du plus fort. Si les ambitions de la Maison Blanche dans l’Arctique menacent les intérêts de Vladimir Poutine, la Russie se satisfait pour l’heure d’un délitement des alliances démocratiques et d’une fin annoncée de l’Otan. Tout en préparant une confrontation avec des États-Unis qui, eux aussi, voient la force comme un moyen d’élargir leurs frontières.

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers will meet with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland on Friday to reassure them of congressional support despite President Donald Trump’s threats to seize the Arctic island.

Donald Trump continue de convoiter le Groenland, pour des raisons de « sécurité nationale », selon lui. Alors que la France et quelques autres pays européens viennent d’envoyer des troupes pour des exercices conjoints avec le Danemark, le président américain continue à affirmer que la défense groenlandaise consiste en quelques attelages de chiens de traîneaux … C’est faux, même si une unité militaire utilise bien ce moyen de transport pour patrouiller dans les étendues glacées.

US President Donald Trump threatened to activate the Insurrection Act to send military forces to Minnesota as protests escalated after federal agents shot and wounded a man and, days earlier, fatally shot a woman during immigration enforcement actions. Demonstrators condemned the use of force and broad federal immigration raids.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had formed a Gaza “board of peace,” a phase two element of a US-backed plan to end the war in the Palestinian territory. Trump said members would be announced shortly and the body would oversee a Palestinian technocratic committee managing post-war Gaza.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and pro-Palestinian activist, suffered a legal setback on Thursday that could lead to his rearrest. Khalil, previously detained for three months over campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza, has been targeted by the Trump administration, which accuses him of disseminating Hamas propaganda.

The recent White House meeting between officials from Greenland, Denmark and the US highlights the island’s delicate balancing act. Historical ties, modern aspirations, and the projection of global power are playing out in the Arctic, where climate, commerce, and sovereignty are tightly interwoven. Greenland stands firm in the face of an encroaching superpower. It is “not for sale, but open for business,” says Ulrik Pram Gad, Senior Researcher at Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS)

European countries – including France – have begun deploying troops to Greenland, in what Germany describes as a mission aimed at countering ‘Russian and Chinese threats’. The White House says the show of unity for the Arctic island will have ‘no impact’ on Trump’s ambitions for it. It comes a day after high-level talks in Washington highlighted ‘fundamental disagreements’ over the future of the Danish territory.
