Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz said that Europe will intensify its efforts to secure the Arctic region, affirming his country’s continued support for Denmark in light of US President Donald Trump’s attempts to annex Greenland.At the conclusion of the North Sea Summit in Hamburg, northern Germany, Merz added, “Denmark and the people of Greenland, can count on our solidarity,” emphasizing that Europe will redouble its efforts to secure the Arctic region. “This is a common transatlantic interest.” The German Chancellor pointed out that the US previously had more than 30,000 soldiers stationed in Greenland, but there are currently fewer than 200, adding that the Americans have two large military bases there, expressing his belief that there is a need for a joint effort to better protect the North. For her part, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Europe had demonstrated strength and unity in recent weeks in the face of Trump’s attempt to annex Greenland. Frederiksen added that Europe needs to become stronger, and to achieve that, they need to be more self-confident, more competitive, and more independent, indicating that that is precisely the essence of their meeting.

At least 11 people have died as a result of a severe snowstorm that swept through nearly 40 US states. Local authorities explained Monday that more than 800,000 people are still without power, noting that more than 17,000 flights have been canceled. Schools in major cities have closed or switched to remote learning. They indicated that the effects of the storm could last for days, or even weeks, and that nearly 90 million people across the country have been warned of the “bitter cold.” Authorities also issued warnings of up to 10 centimeters of snow in Washington, D.C., and up to 30 centimeters in New York and New Jersey. New York City Mayor Zahran Mamdani announced at a press conference yesterday (Sunday) that the bodies of five homeless people had been found in the open, indicating that the death toll could rise. Several regions of the United States have been experiencing a historic winter storm known as “Vern” for days, stretching from Texas to the Northeast, putting more than 213 million Americans under weather warnings, with deaths recorded as a result of heavy ice and massive snow accumulations.

The meeting discussed ways to enhance media cooperation and coordination to support joint Arab action and contribute to highlighting Arab issues, while emphasising the importance of developing media communication mechanisms and strengthening the role of Arab media in addressing current regional and international challenges.
