European Union (EU) foreign policy chief and European Commission vice-president Kaja Kallas has issued a stern warning on the growing differences between America and Europe. He has said that China and Russia are getting the most benefit from the division between the allied countries (America and European NATO members).
Russia-China enjoy the fight between NATO allies
On January 18, 2026, Kaja Kailas posted on social media platform X and wrote, ‘China and Russia must be having a lot of fun right now. They are the ones who benefit the most from divisions among allied countries.
He further wrote that if there is any threat to the security of Greenland, then this issue should be resolved within NATO itself. Instead of escalating rhetoric or controversy on different forums, allied countries should find solutions within the NATO framework.
Tariffs will increase poverty on both sides
Kaja Callas also commented on US President Donald Trump’s tariff threat. He said, ‘Imposing tariffs will make both Europe and America poorer. This will weaken our shared prosperity and deepen the rift in trans-Atlantic relations (US-Europe).
Trade conflict weakens the economic strength of allied countries, which is taken advantage of by opposing powers (such as China and Russia).
China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies.
If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO.
Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity.

Don’t get distracted by Ukraine war
The most important thing Kallas said was that any dispute between America and Europe should not divert attention from the ongoing strategic fight against Russia. He stressed, ‘Our main goal is to help end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Mutual differences should not become an obstacle to this goal.
Why did this warning come from EU?
This statement has come after Trump’s recent decision. Trump has demanded full inclusion of Greenland into America. If Denmark (to which Greenland belongs) and other European countries do not make a deal, they have announced to impose an additional 10% tariff on 8 NATO allies namely Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, Netherlands and Finland from 1 February 2026. It may increase up to 25% by June 2026. Trump is calling it an issue of national and global security.
This has increased tensions among NATO allies and poses a danger of weakening Western solidarity. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed full solidarity with Denmark and Greenland. EU Council President Antonio Costa called for respect for international law and a united response from the EU.
