00:14Good morning, and yes, it's Friday, September 25th.
00:19You're watching Euronews, and this is Europe Today.
00:23Coming up, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met for a high-stakes summit yesterday,
00:28culminating in a state dinner at the White House.
00:31It was the first official state visit from a Chinese leader in the U.S. in over a decade,
00:36as tensions between the two countries remain high.
00:39The CIA warned several European countries of possible Russian attacks
00:43against targets in Spain, France, or Italy.
00:46According to Spanish media, Moscow could launch drones
00:49with a range of 600 kilometers from merchant vessels.
00:53And Pope Leo XIV arrives in Paris today for an apostolic visit to France
00:59that will include popemobile parades, an open-air mass on the Champs-Elysees,
01:04and a trip to the sanctuary of Lourdes.
01:07It's the first papal state visit to France since 2008.
01:11Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Drober.
01:14U.S. President Trump has thrown China's leader Xi Jinping a state dinner,
01:19featuring a tech-heavy guest list, as well as a number of billionaires,
01:23Washington power brokers, and business leaders.
01:26The dinner on Thursday night wrapped up a day of talks between the two leaders
01:30that did not erase differences over issues like Iran, Taiwan, AI, and trade.
01:36The meeting was closely watched in Europe,
01:39as every meaningful agreement between Washington and Beijing
01:42has also an impact on the EU,
01:44as EU Commissioner Stéphane Céjourné told Euronews.
01:51We need a constructive dialogue between China and the United States.
01:55And we saw last year that the escalating trade tensions
01:58between Washington and Beijing over these issues could lead to a trade war.
02:02This could also affect the European economy.
02:04So yes, I hope this dialogue will be constructive,
02:08and we can reach an agreement, and that we can stabilise the situation.
02:11We need to have a agreement that we can stabilise the situation.
02:19To make sense of what happened between Trump and Xi Jinping,
02:22let's bring in Ian Lesser now,
02:24distinguished fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
02:27Good morning, Ian. Good to see you.
02:30Stéphane, very good to be with you. Thank you.
02:33So, Trump hosting Xi at the White House,
02:36was this primarily a summit about managing rivalry
02:39or the beginning of a new friendship?
02:43Oh, I would say managing rivalry.
02:45And I think both leaders bring to the table,
02:48you know, their own agenda of that kind,
02:51even though, you know, we don't know all the details of what came out.
02:54Apparently, there were no blow-ups, if you could say.
02:57There was nothing deeply negative.
02:58On the other hand, there wasn't a lot of progress on a lot of the
03:00substantive issues on trade and tech and other things people were looking for.
03:04But really, it was all about the symbolism.
03:07And the symbolism, really, in a sense, is the substance to manage rivalry.
03:13China, you know, can come away from this perceiving that it was treated as an equal.
03:19And President Trump can also come away with what he could describe as a success,
03:24but also, you know, looking over his shoulder at the American political scene,
03:27where, you know, tougher attitudes on China are there on both sides of the aisle,
03:32Democrats and Republicans.
03:33So, you know, there were certain risks in coming off as too much of a success
03:38for President Trump as well.
03:39I think it's somewhere, you know, the result comes out somewhere in the middle.
03:43So both sides were talking about strategic stability,
03:46but underneath the diplomatic language, there was enormous mistrust.
03:51So how far could Trump and Xi actually reduce tensions?
03:55I think this does, in some sense, go a long way.
03:59This kind of very high level, very personalized diplomacy.
04:04Both leaders apparently value this.
04:06Both systems, in a sense, value this.
04:08You know, it does make a difference.
04:10The optics matter.
04:12But as you say, there are a lot of unresolved issues.
04:15Some of them are a very technical kind and not things without a lot of preparation beforehand
04:20and agreement beforehand, not things that were likely to be settled at a summit like this.
04:24And so the fact on trade, for example, that the sort of trade war truce, if you like,
04:30has been extended for another few months is something of a success.
04:33But it also leaves a lot of work to be done.
04:35I got to ask you this, Ian.
04:38Yesterday, Trump caused consternation among European leaders by inviting Vladimir Putin
04:43to the upcoming G20 summit in Miami.
04:46Your reaction to that?
04:49Well, this is going to be viewed very negatively in a lot of places, not least in Europe, where
04:54there's, you know, no desire to give what might be seen as a diplomatic gift to President
05:04Putin as the war in Ukraine drags on.
05:07And the sanctions are getting tougher.
05:09And there is a certain irony in this, in that the United States itself just enacted tougher
05:13sanctions on Russia, whether he actually comes to Florida for the G20 meeting is unclear.
05:19But even the invitation is going to upset a lot of people, to be sure.
05:23But to go back to our earlier conversation, it's another piece of evidence just in terms
05:27of the style of the administration, President Trump's engagement with the world.
05:31He sees it very much through individual leaderships.
05:35And so in that sense, the invitation wasn't surprising.
05:38All right.
05:39Good stuff.
05:40Ian Lesser, distinguished fellow at the German Marshall Fund.
05:43Thank you very much.
05:45Now, just days after his country and the United States inked a deal on Greenland, Martin Liedegaard
05:52was the first Danish ministers to speak exclusively to Euronews about the agreement.
05:57The deal de-escalated a months-long diplomatic crisis over the Arctic territory, triggered by
06:03threats from U.S. President Trump to seize it by force.
06:07The business minister expressed hope that a new chapter can now begin.
06:12For more on this, I'm joined by Euronews' Lauren Walker.
06:15Good morning, Lauren.
06:17So what sense did you get from Minister Liedegaard on how momentous this agreement is?
06:23Yeah.
06:23Good morning, Stefan.
06:24So I think there is a clear consensus here that this is a very positive outcome.
06:30Denmark and Greenland, I think it's fair to say, will be breathing this sense of relief,
06:35the sigh of relief, because the agreement essentially brings an end to months of uncertainties and
06:42diplomatic difficulties for both parties.
06:45Cast your mind back to the start of this year, where Trump threatened several EU countries
06:51with sanctions.
06:53Now, this was in response, basically, to them criticizing another threat he made that he
06:59would, quote unquote, take Greenland.
07:01Now, over this, he cited national security concerns.
07:05Obviously, we need to bear in mind as well that there are these, it's a strategic location
07:10for the U.S. and the mineral wealth of Greenland as well.
07:14Now, when we look at the agreement itself, it's not really a new agreement.
07:18It's more of rebranding, adding on to an agreement from 1951.
07:23But there are some key differences here.
07:26One being Greenland is a signatory.
07:28That's very, very important, obviously, to Greenland.
07:31And then there are also these clauses that they've added that basically closes the door
07:36of Greenland for mining and military purposes to non-EU, non-NATO countries, unless, obviously,
07:43all three signatories agree otherwise.
07:46And this mining, Martin Liedegardt also told me, is very, very important for nuke.
07:52We've also heard this from nuke themselves, because they really want to exploit the raw
07:57critical materials that they have in Greenland.
08:00Nuke, of course, being the capital of Greenland.
08:03Now, from what you say, can we identify winners and losers here?
08:07So I want to start, obviously, with the Greenlanders.
08:10They will be very, very happy because this agreement, it really recognizes their right
08:15to basically decide on their own future.
08:18Denmark, as I said, is very, very happy because it brings an end to this very, very difficult,
08:24tumultuous period for them.
08:26Liedegardt himself also said that they're now hoping this will bring a new chapter.
08:30A lot of it, obviously, does evolve around the U.S. military and civilian access to Greenland.
08:38We've already heard these reports of two additional military bases.
08:42The U.S. already has one on Greenland.
08:44They now want to create two other ones.
08:46So that's very, very important for them.
08:49I think it is important to say, though, and it's very notable, that the agreement does
08:54stop short of this call from Trump that he wanted Greenland basically to be recognized
09:00as U.S. territory.
09:02The agreement does not do that.
09:03However, this hasn't stopped Trump from making claims in recent days that the agreement gives
09:09him existential permanent control over Greenland.
09:14I put these claims to the Danish minister because obviously I was very interested to hear, does
09:19Denmark, does Copenhagen see this as in total, how would we say, in total contrast with what
09:26it says in the agreement that this is Denmark's sovereignty.
09:30But he brushed off any of these comments.
09:33There was a very clear consensus here that they wanted to focus on the positive.
09:37And he told me, all three parties are winners here.
09:41Let's take a listen.
09:42Well, this is an agreement which all three parties are very satisfied by.
09:48And we are satisfied because that the territorial integrity is intact, that we ensure the self-dependence
09:58of the Greenlandic people.
10:00And I think that the Americans are very happy about the fact that they have a huge access
10:05to the Greenlandic territory when it comes to military bases, but also when it comes to
10:09minerals and stuff like that.
10:12And the Greenlandic are very happy about it because they have their self-dependence and,
10:16of course, can decide their own future.
10:18And then the different parties put different weight on different parts of the agreement.
10:25And would you say you're positive that this agreement will now set a course that we can
10:29avoid any escalation or the threats that we saw earlier over Greenland coming from the
10:35US?
10:35Yes, very much so.
10:37And it is my hope and my belief that now we can start a new chapter where we try to
10:44invest
10:44together in the security and the development of the Arctic region, also when it comes to nature
10:50and climate, but not least when it comes to defense and mining.
10:55In this agreement, it states that only EU or NATO countries can invest in Greenland.
11:00I want to ask you firstly, does this mean that there will be more, let's say, more investment
11:07in Greenland, perhaps more exploitation of critical raw materials in Greenland?
11:13I hope so.
11:15And I also think that the Greenlandic government hopes so.
11:18There is a huge desire in Greenland, you know, to grow, to create new jobs and also
11:25to, when it comes to mining, have a bigger sector than today.
11:29And that's, you know, you need investors, you need capital, but you also need a market.
11:35And here I sincerely hope that the EU can play a role.
11:39We need many supply chains when it comes to critical raw materials.
11:44I hope Greenland can be one of them.
11:46And what implications will this have on the EU, which is so clearly trying to secure its
11:53independence from other countries when it comes to these critical raw material supplies?
11:58I actually don't think so.
11:59I think there are minerals enough in Greenland that all who are interested to invest in Greenland
12:04can actually do it and benefit from it.
12:07But it will, of course, be up to the Greenlandic government, who they deal with, where, and
12:13in which way.
12:13But as I hear the Greenlandic government, they are open for business, both with Europe and
12:18with the US.
12:22All right, our Lauren Walker there, speaking to the Danish minister, Martin Liedegaard.
12:28A mass migration surge from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in July has led to
12:34a deterioration of relations between Madrid and Rabat, and it has revived the debate over
12:40migration in Europe.
12:42Our correspondent Maya de la Beaume spoke with Marion Maréchal, a French far-right member of
12:48the European Parliament and a niece of Marine Le Pen.
12:51Maya started by asking her about the reason for her visit to Ceuta this week.
12:58To alert Europeans to the fact that the problem has not been completely resolved.
13:03Today, there are still several thousand people who continue to stay illegally in this enclave
13:08of Ceuta.
13:08We are talking about a minimum of one sexual assault per day, if not several rapes.
13:13Today, there are a dozen dangerous jihadist profiles that are now identified by the
13:18Spanish intelligence services and are wanted.
13:20And above all, we do not yet have a lasting solution, if I may say so, because we know
13:25that today there are a certain number of illegal migrants who are transferred to Spain.
13:29Spain is now in the Schengen area.
13:31And so the objective of my presence is also to send a political signal and to say that
13:35tomorrow we will have to deal with the subject, the functioning of the Schengen area on the
13:39one hand, and on the other hand, the subject of asylum law and its misuse, which is today
13:45one of the main routes of illegal immigration in Europe.
13:50The European Union has put in place new migration rules since June, in particular allowing member
13:55states to create these famous return centers outside Europe.
13:59Do you think that's enough?
14:02This is one of the proposals, among a whole range of proposals, that should allow us to
14:06more easily intercept and return illegal immigrants to European soil today.
14:11A very important step, but once again, it is not enough.
14:14Tomorrow, we will also have to tackle the issue of asylum, which, I would remind you, is first
14:18and foremost governed by European law and which is a massive illegal immigration channel today.
14:24We must focus on the free movement within the Schengen area, which has become dangerous today
14:28for all European residents and citizens.
14:31And I will tell you, I'm very hopeful that we will succeed, because if by chance tomorrow
14:35Marine Lupin is brought to power in France, if Giorgia Meloni is re-elected, we would have
14:40the possibility of having a Franco-Italian couple on these immigration issues who work together
14:46to re-orient Europe in the right direction.
14:49Would you go so far as to close the border between France and Spain?
14:53Because we know that France did not close the border.
14:55It put border controls in place.
15:00Personally, I fully understand the legitimate decision of Giorgia Meloni to have closed their
15:05borders, since I remind you, we do not say it enough, there are among these influxes
15:09of migrants potential jihadis, and that is very well documented by the Spanish intelligence
15:13services, so there is a security threat.
15:16So it would seem common sense to me, for reasons mainly of security, but also of defending our
15:21European identity, to no longer defend free movement for all, which obviously makes us,
15:26I'd say, puts us hostage when socialist governments, like that of Pedro Sanchez, regulate massively,
15:31since it is all of Europe that is suddenly paying the consequences.
15:36Are we not dealing with a case of human rights violation?
15:40That is the problem, if you will.
15:42Today, most migration laws are no longer defined in national assemblies and parliaments, but
15:47by the case law of the courts, and in particular, the Constitutional Council.
15:51And that is not acceptable, if you want it, because we have major principles, that of our
15:55social pact through the Constitution, but which has been interpreted, over-interpreted, and
15:59sometimes even misguided, which means that today we no longer have perfect control of
16:04who can return, stay, or be expelled from the French territory.
16:12Marion Maréchal, they are interviewed by Maya de la Boume.
16:15Now, it's a major test for Pope Leo XIV as he prepares for his first apostolic visit to
16:22France today.
16:23The Pope will confront a country with deep Catholic roots, but with a rapidly changing
16:28relationship with religion.
16:30His message will go beyond the Church itself.
16:32Europe's future, migration, peace, and the challenges facing a continent under pressure
16:38will all be on the agenda.
16:41Let's head over to Paris, where our correspondent Estelle Nielsen-Julien is standing by for us.
16:47Good morning, Estelle.
16:49So, what are the vibes hours before the Pope's arrival?
16:52What are people saying?
16:55Well, good morning, Stefan, from the heart of Paris, where the city is awaiting the Pope's
17:01arrival later today.
17:02Over a million visitors are expected to flock to the city over the course of the Pope's
17:07two-day trip here.
17:08And later today, he will celebrate vespers at Notre Dame Cathedral, which is just here
17:13behind me.
17:14On Saturday afternoon, the Pope will also lead an open-air mass near the Champs-Elysées
17:19and Place de la Concorde, with 600,000 people expected to attend, before he then later heads
17:26to Lourdes and Metz.
17:27As you can imagine, the entire city is under tight control.
17:32A vast security apparatus has been deployed.
17:35I was standing by the Seine earlier, and I was moved twice by police officers as they told
17:39me that they were tightening a protocol around the area.
17:42So, you could say that Paris is a fortress, it's a protective bubble at present, with
17:47Rafale anti-fighter jets, armed helicopters, and anti-drone systems deployed to ensure optimal
17:54security.
17:55But earlier this week, France's Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said that no major security threats
18:00had been identified so far.
18:03So, yes, things seem to be in order, and what we're waiting for in France is for church bells
18:10to ring for seven minutes at 10 a.m., which is the time at which the Pope is expected to
18:15land on French Sol at Paris-Orly Airport.
18:19All right, Estelle, thank you so much.
18:21I'm happy for you that you can experience your first visit of a Pope in France, and I hope
18:28you'll continue to cover that for us.
18:31Thank you very much.
18:32Now, that does it for us today.
18:35Have an excellent weekend.
18:36I'm Stefan Grobe, and I'll see you again on Monday.
19:09I'm Garvey, and I'll be right back.
19:13Bye-bye.
19:13Bye-bye.
19:15Bye-bye.
19:19Bye-bye.
19:22Bye-bye.
19:25Bye-bye.
19:27Bye-bye.
