Good morning from the Financial Times.
Today is Wednesday, July 8th, and this is your FTN East briefing.
Donald Trump is threatening his NATO allies again, and European far-right leaders had a hell of a Tuesday.
Plus, a pair of glasses could be recording your every move, whether you like it or not.
I'm Mark Filippino, and here's the news you need to start your day.
U.S.
President Donald Trump is going after Greenland again.
That should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark.
That was at yesterday's NATO summit in Turkey.
Trump threatened to remove all American troops from Europe if he doesn't get his way.
And when they wouldn't go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia,
and we don't have to spend any money, we could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe.
Trump also tied his threat to his frustration with European allies for not helping in the U.S.
War against Iran.
He made similar threats to take over Greenland at Davos back in January.
The U.S., Denmark and Greenland have been in talks ever since.
A French appeals court ruled yesterday that far-right leader Marine Le Pen can run for president next year,
and she says she's going to do it.
The judges upheld Le Pen's conviction of embezzling funds from the European Parliament,
and she said last night she plans to appeal the ruling again.
