Daniel Runde: “Europe must divorce from Russian gas and rethink Greenland”

In this second part of his interview with Jacob Heilbrunn, Daniel Runde analyzes how Donald Trump’s second term is reshaping Europe’s strategic landscape. He emphasizes Trump’s call for a complete break with Russian gas, denouncing the hypocrisy of buying energy from Moscow while hesitating to support Ukraine.
Runde points to viable alternatives — American LNG, Norwegian and Qatari supplies, and even the untapped potential of Ukrainian gas. The senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) also underscores the strategic importance of Greenland, at the crossroads of Arctic competition, rare earth resources, and transatlantic security.
